Author: Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7100 First Line: Come, Holy Ghost, and touch my tongue Refrain First Line: Waiting, I am waiting Lyrics: 1. Come, Holy Ghost, and touch my tongue
As with a living flame;
I want the sanctifying grace
My Savior bids me claim.
Refrain
Waiting, I am waiting
For the promise of the Pentecostal shower;
Waiting, I am waiting
For the promise of Thy wondrous, mighty power.
2. Come, Holy Ghost, with sacred fire
Baptize this heart of mine;
Break every earthly idol down,
And all its dross refine. [Refrain]
3. I want a self renouncing will,
That owns His sweet control,
And through my life I want His love
A ceaseless flood to roll. [Refrain]
4. Come, Holy Ghost, the blood apply
As Thou hast ne’er before,
That I may shout my Savior’s praise
Henceforth and evermore. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Come, Holy Ghost, and touch my tongue]
