Hymns for Youth ‎#112

112. Come, Holy Ghost

1. Come, Holy Ghost, and with thy sacred fire
Stengthen my heart, and purify my soul;
Lighten my mind, that I may see aright;
Come, Holy Ghost, and make my spirit whole.

2. Through storms of life, my battle armor be;
Justly to guide my weak and wandering feet
Into the paths that will forever lead
Unto the mercy of God's judgment seat.

3. Lord, may thy spirit ever stay with me
Until at last I come to be with thee,
When I shall see, with all the saints in heaven,
The mighty visions of eternity.
