Hymns of Consecration and Faith ‎#175

175. Come, Thou Burning Spirit, Come!

1 Come, Thou burning Spirit, come!
Lo! we stretch our hands to Thee,
From the Father to the Son,
Let us now Thy glory see.

Refrain:
Come, oh come, Great Spirit, come!
Let the mighty deed be done;
Satisfy our souls’ desire,
See us waiting for the fire,
Waiting, waiting,
See us waiting for the fire.

2 On the altar now we lay
Soul and body, mind and will;
All the evil passions slay,
Come and ev’ry corner fill. [Refrain]

3 Now the sacrifice we make,
Though as dear as a right eye,
For our blessed Savior’s sake,
Who for us did bleed and die. [Refrain]

4 Now, by faith, the gift I claim,
Bought for me by blood Divine;
Through the all-prevailing Name,
All the promises are mine. [Refrain]
