Hymn 379
O come and dwell in me
Meter: S.M.
Scripture: Act. 1:8
1
O come and dwell in me,
Spirit of pow’r within!
And bring the glorious liberty
From sorrow, fear, and sin.
2
The seed of sin’s disease,
Spirit of health, remove,
Spirit of finished holiness,
Spirit of perfect love.
3
Hasten the joyful day
Which shall my sins consume,
When old things shall be passed away
And all things new become.
4
The original offence
Out of my soul erase;
Enter Thyself; and drive it hence,
And take up all the place.
5
I want the witness, Lord,
That all I do is right,
According to Thy will and word,
Well-pleasing in Thy sight.
6
I ask no higher state;
Indulge me but in this,
And soon or later then translate
To my eternal bliss.
