Blessed Spirit, for the asking, Thou didst come into my heart; Oh, I ever would adore Thee, Never, never from Thee part; Blessed Spirit, how I love Thee! Dwell Thou ever in my heart.
Refrain: Oh, this well of living water, Springing up within my soul! Life eternal to me giving, Praise the Lord, I now am whole.
Thou dost tell me, blessed Spirit, That my soul is born of God; Thou dost witness to the cleansing Wrought within by Jesus’ blood; I am happy, ever happy, Since my heart is Thine abode.
Oh, this wondrous, blest anointing Which within me doth abide, Witnessing to Jesus’ merit— In Thy guidance I confide; Thou wilt lead me, Thou wilt bring me, Bring me to my Savior’s side.
Now I taste of heaven’s sweetness, For my Savior in me lives; Oh, the richness and completeness Of this rest the Spirit gives! Ever lead me, heav’nward lead me, Conqu’ring pow’r unto me give.
