1 Flow gently, sweet Spirit, flow into my soul,
And cleanse me from all, and I shall be made whole;
Before my Redeemer adoring I’ll bend,
And talk face to face as a friend with his friend.
Refrain:
Flow gently, sweet Spirit, flow into my soul,
Let waves of thy glory now over me roll;
When filled with thy fulness, made perfect in love,
I’ll hail the glad summons that calls me above.
2 Thy nature, sweep Spirit, now give unto me,
And I shall the beauty of holiness see;
My doubting and fearing I cannot endure,
I long to be like thee, I long to be pure. [Refrain]
3 I long, blessed Spirit, thy image to bear,
Thy wisdom and power and holiness share;
To move in the circle of infinite love,
Be pure in God’s sight as the blessed above. [Refrain]
4 O come and transfigure my soul with thy light,
And earth with its turmoil shall fade from my sight;
Then sorrow, privation, whatever betide,
With thee for companion, my soul shall outride. [Refrain]
