Sung to Burton (hymn 3)

1

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly guest,And make thy mansion in my breast;Dispel my doubts, my fears control,And heal the anguish of my soul.

2

Thou God of love and peace divine,O make thy light within me shine!Forgive my sins, my guilt remove,And send the tokens of thy love.

3

Come with thy healing from above,Fill each and every heart with love;O turn to flesh the flinty stone,And let thy sovereign power be known!
