CONGREGATIONAL HYMNS

Come! Holy Spirit, come

by ANDREW REED, 1787-1862

Come! Holy Spirit, come
"Then He said to me, prophesy to the breath; and breath into live". Ezek. 37:9
Come! Holy Spirit, come!
With all thy gracious power,
Remove me from the evil way,
And place in righteous way.
In darkness I remain,
Blind to things of spirit,
O come, shine, illumine my soul,
That by grace I may see.
In sin I do perish,
All evils I cherish,
O come, and plant your life in me,
Which ever shall remain.
Come as the dew, and sweetly bless,
This consecrated hour:
May barrenness rejoice to own,
Thy fertilizing power.
