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

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

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

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