Come, Holy Ghost, my spirit fill,
Till every trembling chord
With love’s ecstatic music thrill,
In full and sweet accord!
Refrain
Open the beautiful windows of Heav’n,
The best of Thy bountiful blessings send down;
Come, let the Spirit’s anointing be giv’n,
The faith of Thy people crown.
Thy will, O God, be done in me;
Attune my will to Thine,
That so my life a song may be
Of harmony divine.
Refrain
Then shall my life make melody,
And testify to Thee,
Till other hearts enraptured be,
And Thy salvation see.
Refrain
Come, Holy Ghost, come in! come in!
Possess my ransomed soul!
Forever dwell and reign within,
With love’s supreme control.
