Author: Francis Bottome (1823-94) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #208 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, all sacred fire!
Come, fill this earthly temple now
Emptied of every base desire,
Reign thou within, and only thou.
2 Fill every chamber of my soul;
Fill all my thoughts, my passions fill,
Till under thy supreme control
Submissive rests my cheerful will.
3 ‘Tis done! Thou dost this moment come;
My longing soul is all thine own,
My heart is thy abiding home;
Henceforth I live for thee alone.
4 The altar sanctifies the gift;
The blood insures the boon divine;
My outstretched hands to Heaven I lift
And claim the Father’s promise mine.
