We come nigh, our heav’nly Father,

We Thy children weak and faint;

Fill us with Thy Holy Spirit,

Grant that we be all renewed;

Come, Thou Holy Spirit do, come,

Speak through us in a new tongue!

For Thy great gift we are pleading,

Thy great gift of Pentecost.

Lord, remember Thou Thy promise,

Pour Thy Spirit on all flesh,

Give us of Thy peace, we pray Thee,

Peace, the world cannot afford,

Come Thou Holy Spirit, do come,

Sin destroy Thou in our hearts.

For Thy great gift we are pleading,

Thy great gift of Pentecost.

Heav’nly Dove; descend upon us,

Fill us with Thy pow'r divine,

That the nations all may worship,

To our Saviour yielded be,

Let us hear of Thy great pow’r through

This dark continent of ours.

For thy great gift we are pleading,

Thy great gift of Pentecost.
