140. Dwell in Me, O Blessed Spirit

1 Dwell in me, O blessed Spirit!
How I need Thy help divine!
In the way of life eternal,
Keep, oh, keep this heart of mine!

Refrain:
Dwell in me, O blessed Spirit,
Gracious Teacher, Friend divine!

2 Round the Cross where Thou hast led me,
Let my purest feelings twine.
With the blood from sin that cleansed me,
Seal anew this heart of mine. [Refrain]

3 Let me feel Thy sacred presence,
Then my faith will ne'er decline;
Comfort Thou and help me onward,
Fill with love this heart of mine. [Refrain]
