Llena hoy de tu presencia
esta humilde habitación.

Coro:
Llena hoy, llena hoy,
lléname con tu poder;
Tu amor y tu presencia

2 Débil soy, oh sí, muy débil;

con poder me llene hoy. [Coro]

3 Santo Espíritu, tú eres
ese prometido don;
Quiero siempre obedecerte
y gozar tu bendición. [Coro]

4 Oh, ayúdame, te pido,
a vivir en santidad;
Guíame en tus caminos,
haz en mí tu voluntad. [Coro]
