Words
⤢ Full screenCome, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire;Let us thine influence prove;Source of the old prophetic fire,Fountain of life and love.
Water with heavenly dew thy word,In this appointed hour;Attend it with thy presence, Lord,And bid it come with power.
Open the hearts of them that hear,To make the Saviour room;Now let us find redemption near;Let faith by hearing come.
