Author: F. G. Burroughs Hymnal: The Silver Trumpet #26 (1889) First Line: Breathe thou upon us, Holy Ghost Refrain First Line: Come Holy Spirit, Heavenly Guide Lyrics: 1 Breathe thou upon us, Holy Ghost,
Refresh us in this hour;
Assembled here for praise and prayer,
We wait thy gracious power.
Chorus:
Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Guide,
Lead to all truth the Lamb's fair bride, -
And in our midst henceforth abide,
Thou Comforter divine!
2 Rest thou upon us, dove-like form,
Our worship to inspire;
Oh, let us now behold thy grace,
In pentecostal fire! [Chorus]
3 Descend upon us, heavenly flame,
Equip us all with zeal;
Baptize our hearts with love divine,
And then our work reveal. [Chorus]
4 Breathe thou upon our waiting hearts,
Here met with one accord,
Then send us forth with sword and shield,
To win this world for God. [Chorus]
