1. Come, o come Thou Holy Spirit
Light and life Thy grace imparts
Blessed Source of consolation
Guide our minds and fill our hearts
Grant my mind and my affections
Wisdom, counsel, purity
That I may be ever seeking
Only that which pleases Thee
Only that which pleases Thee

2. Savior lead us to adore Thee
By the true and living way
Then with angel hosts before Thee
May we worship, love and praise
Dwell within us, precious Spirit
Where Thou art no ill can come
Bless us now through Jesus' merit
Reign in every heart and home
Reign in every heart and home

3. Holy Spirit, strong and mighty
Thou who makest all things new
Make Thy work within me perfect
Help me by Thy word so true
In Thy faith, O make me steadfast
Let not Satan, death or shame
Of my confidence deprive me
Lord, my refuge is Thy name
Lord, my refuge is Thy name

4. When my final hour approaches
Let my hopes grow yet more bright
Let Thy love which never fails me
Dissipate the gloom of night
From that height which knows no measure
Fairer far than voice can tell
In Thy glorious courts of heaven
There, redeemed by Christ, to dwell
There, redeemed by Christ, to dwell
