The Best of All ‎#251

251. Holy Ghost, We Bid Thee Welcome

1 Holy Ghost, we bid thee welcome,
Source of life and power thou art;
Promise of our heav’nly Father,
Now thrice welcome to my heart.

Refrain:
Welcome, welcome, welcome,
Holy Ghost, we welcome thee;
Come in power and fill the temple,
Holy Ghost, we welcome thee.

2 Here like empty earthen vessels
Lying at the Master’s feet,
Small but clean thro’ Jesus’ merit,
Wait till thou thy work complete. [Refrain]

3 Come like dew from heaven falling,
Come like spring’s refreshing shower;
Holy Ghost, for thee we’re calling,
Come in all thy quickening power. [Refrain]

4 Hearts are open to receive thee,
Tho’ we’ve griev’d thee o’er and o’er,
Holy Ghost, we greatly need thee,
Come, abide forevermore. [Refrain]
