151. Come, Holy Spirit, come

1 Come, Holy Spirit, come;
Let Thy bright beams arise;
Dispel the darkness from our minds,
And darkness from our eyes.

2 Revive our drooping faith;
Our doubts and fears remove;
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never-dying love.

3 Convince us of our sin,
Then lead to Jesus’ Blood,
And to our wondering view reveal
The precious love of God.

4 ’Tis Thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,
To pour fresh life in every part,
And new create the whole.

5 Dwell, Spirit, in our hearts;
Our minds from bondage free;
Then we shall know, and praise, and love
The Father, Son, and Thee.

Amen.
