[Come, Thou all-inspiring Spirit]
Come, Thou all-inspiring Spirit,
Into every longing heart,
Bought for us by Jesus' merit
Now Thy blissful Self impart:
Sign our uncontested pardon,
Wash us in the' atoning blood,
Make our souls a water'd garden,
Fill our spotless souls with God.
Into every longing heart,
Bought for us by Jesus' merit
Now Thy blissful Self impart:

Wash us in the' atoning blood,
Make our souls a water'd garden,
Fill our spotless souls with God.
If Thou gav'st the' enlarged desire
Which for Thee we ever feel,
Now our panting hearts inspire,
Now our cancell'd sin reveal:
Claim us for Thine habitation,
Dwell within our hallow'd breast,
Seal us heirs of full salvation
Fitted for our heavenly rest.
Which for Thee we ever feel,
Now our panting hearts inspire,
Now our cancell'd sin reveal:
Claim us for Thine habitation,
Dwell within our hallow'd breast,
Seal us heirs of full salvation
Fitted for our heavenly rest.
Give us quietly to tarry
Till for all Thy glory meet,
Waiting like attentive Mary,
Happy at our Saviour's feet;
Keep us from the world unspotted,
From all earthly passions free,
Wholly to Thyself devoted,
Fix'd to live and die for Thee.
Till for all Thy glory meet,
Waiting like attentive Mary,
Happy at our Saviour's feet;
Keep us from the world unspotted,
From all earthly passions free,
Wholly to Thyself devoted,
Fix'd to live and die for Thee.
Wrestling on in mighty prayer,
Lord, we will not let Thee go,
Till Thou all Thy mind declare,
All Thy grace on us bestow;
Peace, the seal of sin forgiven,
Joy, and perfect love impart,
Present, everlasting heaven,
All Thou hast, and all Thou art.
