GRH 224 Holy Ghost! Come

(1)
Holy Ghost! Come to our hearts,
And touch with Thy living fire our tongues.
Strong shall be our witness to Thy pow’r,
Virtue in us be Thy fruit and flow’r,
Joy the sign that Thou to us hast come,
Earnest of our home.

(2)
Comforter! strength of our will;
Our stay in the tempter’s darkest hour!
Grant us grace that we may not Thee grieve,
Show us mercy and us do not leave,
Thou, the rock on whom we safely build,
And our service yield!

(3)
Advocate! Voice of the Christ!
Of all He has taught, the Light of Life!
Whispering ‘sin’ when e’er from Him we turn,
Whispering ‘peace’ when e’er from Him we learn,
In our souls flame in the inner shrine,
Oh God! We are Thine.
