12270. The Spirit Is Waiting

1 The Spirit is waiting, invite Him today,
To enter thy heart and abide there alway;
Believe Him, receive Him, thy dear loving guest,
Thy promise and portion, thy blessing and rest.

Refrain:
The Spirit is waiting, the Spirit is waiting,
Receive Him, believe Him, thy dear loving guest.

2 Secure in His keeping thy heart shall rejoice;
He calls thee and woos thee, Oh, make Him thy choice;
Believe Him, receive Him, thy treasure loved best,
The Comforter waiteth, thy blessing and rest. [Refrain]

3 The joy of the morning receive in thy heart,
He longeth to enter and no more depart;
He knows thee and loves thee, oh, leave thy request,
And wait for His fullness of blessing and rest. [Refrain]
