Lyrics

My soul cri­eth out for the Spir­it,
I’m hun­ger­ing and thirst­ing to know
The full­ness of bless­ing He giveth;
Now fill me while hum­bly I bow.

Refrain

Come in, come in! Bless­èd Spir­it,
Thy work of great bless­ing begin;
By faith I lay hold of Thy pro­mise,
And claim com­plete vic­to­ry o’er sin.

O Spir­it of God and of Je­sus,
Blest Tri­ni­ty, come and pos­sess
My bo­dy, my soul, and my spir­it,
And fill me with Thy ho­li­ness.

Refrain

My bo­dy make meet for Thy tem­ple,
My heart make Thou whit­er than snow;
My spir­it make lov­ing and gen­tle,
Oh, fill me while hum­bly I bow.

Refrain

O ye that are thirst­ing for full­ness,
Make room by for­sak­ing all sin;
Surrender to Him your whole na­ture,
By faith let the Spir­it come in.
