O Come and Dwell in Me
"But ye shall receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon you." - Acts 1:8
VERSE 1
O come and dwell in me,
Spirit of pow'r within!
And bring the glorious liberty
From sorrow, fear, and sin.
VERSE 2
The seed of sin's disease,
Spirit of health, remove,
Spirit of finished holiness,
Spirit of perfect love.
VERSE 3
Hasten the joyful day
Which shall my sins consume
When old things shall be passed away,
And all things new become.
VERSE 4
The original offence
Out of my soul erase;
Enter Thyself, and drive it hence,
And take up all the place.
VERSE 5
I want the witness, Lord,
That all I do is right,
According to Thy will and word,
Well-pleasing in Thy sight.
VERSE 6
I ask no higher state;
Indulge me but in this,
And soon or later then translate
To my eternal bliss.
