Let cloven tongues of holy fire Baptize each soul with pow’r; Come, blessed Spirit, sanctify With Jesus’ blood this hour.
Refrain 1-3: Like a peaceful dove From the courts above, Let Thy sacred presence steal O’er my trusting soul, Taking full control, As I here in meekness kneel.
Come, blessed Spirit, and restore God’s image in my heart; By faith now cleanse me, I implore, This crowning grace impart.
Come, blessed Spirit, Comforter, Dwell in my heart, Thy throne; Make me o’er sin a conqueror, Oh, seal me for Thine own.
Oh, let Thy glory, Lord, descend Upon my waiting soul; Preserve me spotless to the end, And every whit made whole.
Refrain 4: I believe just now, As I humbly bow, That the blood has been applied; It is done, I know, For Thy word is so— I am wholly sanctified.
