Lyrics

O Com­fort­er, gen­tle and ten­der,
O holy and hea­ven­ly Dove;
We’re yield­ing our hearts in sur­ren­der,
We’re wait­ing Thy full­ness to prove.

Refrain

We’re wait­ing, we’re wait­ing
For Thee, O hea­ven­ly Dove;
We’re yield­ing our hearts to sur­ren­der,
We’re wait­ing Thy full­ness to prove.

Come strong as the wind o’er the ocean,
Or soft as the breath­ing of morn,
Subduing our spi­rit’s com­mo­tion
And cheer­ing when hearts are for­lorn.

Refrain

O come as the heart search­ing fire,
O come as the sin cleans­ing flood;
Consume us with holy de­sire,
And fill with the full­ness of God.

Refrain

Anoint us with glad­ness and heal­ing;
Baptize us with pow­er from on high;
O come with Thy fill­ing and seal­ing,
While low at Thy foot­stool we lie.
