When He Comes to You

Representative Text

1 Have you the Pentecost fully received,
Ye who on Jesus the Lord have believed?
Has He, the Comforter promised, come in,
Cleansing, empow’ring and reigning within?

Refrain: “When He is come to you,” to you,
“When He is come to you,”
Souls will be won, and revivals begun
“When He is come to you.”

2 “When He is come,” still the promise is true,
Not to some other heart, but “unto you;”
He will reprove this lost world of its sin;
Salvation’s work shall in power begin. [Refrain]

3 When back to Pentecost God’s people go,
Old-time salvation in rivers shall flow;
Old-time conviction on sinners shall rest;
With old-time power His church shall be blest. [Refrain]

4 Souls will be lost if this grace we refuse,
God’s call to holiness dare to abuse;
Will you be true to the trust He has give’n,
Winning lost souls for the kingdom of heav’n? [Refrain]

Lelia (Mrs. C.H.) Morris (1862-1929) was born in Pennsville, Morgan County, Ohio. When her family moved to Malta on the Muskingum River she and her sister and mother had a millinery shop in McConnelsville. She and her husband Charles H. Morris were active in the Methodist Episcopal Church and at the camp meetings in Sebring and Mt. Vernon. She wrote hymns as she did her housework. Although she became blind at age 52 she continued to write hymns on a 28-foot long blackboard that her family had built for her. She is said to have written 1000 texts and many tunes including "Sweeter as the years go by." Mary Louise VanDyke Go to person page >
