Come, Holy Spirit, I need Thee,
Come, sweet Spirit, I pray;
Come in Thy strength and Thy power,
Come in Thy own gentle way.
Come as a wisdom to children,
Come as new sight to the blind,
Come, Lord, as strength to my weakness,
Take me soul, body and mind.
Come like a spring in the desert,
Come to the withered of soul;
O let Thy sweet healing power
Touch me and make me whole.
Come as a rest to the weary,
Come as a balm for the sore,
Come as a dew to my dryness:
Fill me with joy evermore.
