Lyrics

O come and dwell in me
Holy Spirit of power within
And bring the glorious liberty
From sorrow, fear, and sin.

Let all the angel throng give glory
Thanks to God on high,
While earth repeats the joyful song
and echoes to the sky.

Thy grace to sinners shown
The heavenly angel choirs proclaim
And cry, "Salvation to our God,
Salvation to the Lamb!"

Spirit of Holiness
let thy saints adore thee
send thy renewing power
We kneel before thee.

When heaven and earth have fled,
Have fled before thy glorious face,
Sing all the saints thy love
Hath made thine everlasting praise.
