The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#160

160. Come, divine and peaceful Guest

1 Come, divine and peaceful Guest,
Enter each devoted breast;
Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
Kindle there the gospel fire.

2 God, the everlasting God,
Makes with mortals his abode;
Whom the heavens cannot contain,
He vouchsafes to dwell in man.

3 Never will he thence de[art.
Inmate of a humble heart;
Carrying on his work within,
Striving till he cast out sin.

4 Crown the agonizing strife,
Principle and Lord of life;
Life divine in us renew,
Thou the Gift and Giver too!
