Spirit Holy

(SPIRIT HOLY. 8.7.8.7 with refrain)
1.

Spirit holy in me dwelling,
Ever work as Thou shalt choose;
All my ransomed pow’rs and talents
For Thy purpose Thou shalt use.

Refrain:
Spirit holy, Spirit holy,
All my being now possess;
Lead me, rule me, work within me,
Through my life Thy will express.

2.

O how sweet is Thy abiding!
O how tender is the love
Thou dost shed abroad within me
From the Father-heart above!

Refrain:
Spirit holy, Spirit holy,
All my being now possess;
Lead me, rule me, work within me,
Through my life Thy will express.

3.

Thou hast cleansed me for Thy temple,
Garnished with Thy graces rare;
All my soul Thou art enriching
By Thy fullness dwelling there.

Refrain:
Spirit holy, Spirit holy,
All my being now possess;
Lead me, rule me, work within me,
Through my life Thy will express.

4.

In me now reveal Thy glory,
Let Thy might be ever shown;
Keep me from the world’s defilement,
Sacred for Thyself alone.

Refrain:
Spirit holy, Spirit holy,
All my being now possess;
Lead me, rule me, work within me,
Through my life Thy will express.
