Lyrics

Enthroned on high, al­mig­hty Lord!
The Holy Ghost send down;
Fulfill in us Thy faith­ful word,
And all Thy mer­cies crown.

Though on our heads no tongues of fire
Their won­drous pow­ers im­part,
Grant, Sav­ior, what we more de­sire,
Thy Spir­it in our heart.

Spirit of life and light and love,
Thy heav’nly in­flu­ence give;
Quicken our souls, our guilt re­move,
That we in Christ may live.

To our be­night­ed minds re­veal
The glories of His grace.
And bring us where no clouds con­ceal
The bright­ness of His face.

His love within us shed abroad,
Life’s ev­er spring­ing well,
Till God in us, and we in God,
In love eter­nal dwell.
