1 Dwell within me, Holy Spirit,
Keep me in thy blessed peace;
let the new-born hope and courage,
From all sorrow bring release.

Refrain:
Dwell within me, Holy Spirit,
Let thy light upon me shine;
Draw me nearer, daily nearer,
Lift me up to light divine.

2 Dwell within me, Holy Spirit,
As on thy dear name I call;
Fill my heart with pure endeavor,
Making thee my all in all. [Refrain]

3 Dwell within me, Holy Spirit,
Till I see, thro’ faith’s clear eyes,
My Redeemer, Christ my Savior,
In the light of Paradise. [Refrain]
