159. Come, Holy Spirit

1 Thou cleansing and transforming Fire,
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
Our hearts with burning zeal inspire,
Come, Holy Spirit, come!

Chorus:
Come, Holy Spirit, come just now,
While at the mercy-seat we bow;
With heav’nly pow’r our souls endow,
Come, Holy Spirit, come!

2 Come in thy pentecostal might,
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
With peace and comfort, life and light,
Come, Holy Spirit, come! [Chorus]

3 Help us arise to heights above,
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
Let ev’ry tho’t and word be love,
Come, Holy Spirit, come! [Chorus]

4 Bring, as of old, the tongues of flame,
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To praise the precious Savior’s name,
Come, Holy Spirit, come! [Chorus]
