Come, Holy Ghost, and touch my tongue As with a living flame; I want the sanctifying grace My Savior bids me claim. Refrain Waiting, I am waiting For the promise of the Pentecostal shower; Waiting, I am waiting For the promise of Thy wondrous, mighty power. Come, Holy Ghost, with sacred fire Baptize this heart of mine; Break every earthly idol down, And all its dross refine. Refrain I want a self renouncing will, That owns His sweet control, And through my life I want His love A ceaseless flood to roll. Refrain Come, Holy Ghost, the blood apply As Thou hast ne’er before, That I may shout my Savior’s praise Henceforth and evermore. Refrain |
