Verse 1

Come, Holy Spirit,
Lord our God,
And pour Thy
gifts of
grace abroad;
Thy faithful people
fill with
blessing, Love's fire
their hearts
possessing. O Lord, Thou by
Thy heav'nly Light
Dost gather
and in
faith unite
Through all
the world
a holy
nation To sing
to Thee
with exultation,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Verse 2

O, holiest Light!
O Rock
adored! Give us
Thy light,
Thy living Word,
To God
Himself our spirits
leading, With Him
as children pleading.
From error, Lord,
our souls
defend, That they
on Christ
alone attend;
In Him
with faith
unfeigned abiding,
In Him with
all their might
confiding. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Verse 3

O holiest Fire!
O Source
of rest!
Grant that with
joy and
hope possest,
And in
Thy service kept
forever, Naught us
from Thee
may sever. Lord,
may Thy pow'r
prepare each heart;
To our weak
nature strength
impart, Onward
to press,
our foes
defying, To Thee,
through living and
through dying.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
