Author: The late Bandmaster C. Fry Hymnal: Hymns of Consecration and Faith #175 (1902) First Line: Come, Thou burning Spirit, come Refrain First Line: Come, oh come, Great Spirit, come Lyrics: 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]
