1.  Come, Holy Ghost, for Thee my spirit sighs,
     Yearning to yield a perfect sacrifice;                                                        
     Send Thou the fire to purge my heart from sin,
     Then let the King of glory enter in!

2.  Come from the Heav’n, Beloved of my heart !
     Find here a home and never more depart;
     Bring in Thy pow’r and radiance from above,
     Filling my soul with perfect peace and love !

3.  Naught but Thyself - for Thee alone I cry !
     Else parched and worn, my fainting soul must die;
     Self and the world, and all their claims resigned,
     Here in Thy love my only joy I find.

4.  Yes, Thou dost come and fill me with Thy love !
     Here would I rest, not ever from Thee move -
     My strength, mine all, my heart’s desire art Thou
     Helpless I am, but Thou dost fill me now !
