The Holy Ghost is Here

Verse 1

The Holy Ghost is here, Where saints in prayer agree; As Jesus' parting gift,--is near Each pleading company.

Verse 2

Not far away is he, To be by prayer brought nigh, But here in present majesty As in his courts on high.

Verse 3

He dwells within our soul, An ever welcome guest; He reigns with absolute control, As monarch in the breast.

Verse 4

Our bodies are his shrine, And he the indwelling Lord; All hail, thou Comforter divine, Be evermore adored!

Verse 5

Obedient to thy will, We wait to feel thy power, O Lord of life, our hopes fulfill, And bless this hallowed hour.
