Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: The Hymnal #369 (1916) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
The cross is on our brow,
Redemption's awful sign:
Come thou, O Holy Spirit, now,
To seal the work divine.
337
Thy sevenfold gifts impart,
O Comforter most sweet:
Inflame with zeal each lukewarm heart,
And guide the trembling feet.
With Pentecostal force
Thy presence let us feel:
With strength, who art thyself its source,
Inspire us as we kneel.
Confirm in us today
The work that thou hast wrought;
Illume the souls with love's pure ray
Which Jesus' blood hath bought.
No earth-forged arms we bear:
Strength, weapons, all are thine:
Accept each vow and hear each prayer,
Blest Trinity divine.
Amen.
