The Spirit of God Dwelleth in You

Verse 1

Come, Holy Ghost, all-quickening fire, Come, and in me delight to rest; Drawn by the lure of strong desire, O come and consecrate my breast; The temple of my soul prepare, And fix thy sacred presence there.

Verse 2

If now thy influence I feel, If now in thee begin to live, Still to my heart thyself reveal, Give me thyself, for ever give; A point my good, a drop my store, Eager I ask, I pant for more.

Verse 3

My peace, my life, my comfort thou, My treasure and my all thou art; True witness of my sonship, now Engraving pardon on my heart, Seal of my sin in Christ forgiven, Earnest of love, and pledge of Heaven.

Verse 4

Come, then, my God, mark out thine heir; Of Heaven a larger earnest give; With clearer light thy witness bear, More sensibly within me live; Let all my powers thine entrance feel, And deeper stamp thyself the seal.
