Come, Thou Everlasting Spirit Hymn Lyrics

1

Come, Thou everlasting Spirit,

Bring to every thankful mind

All the Saviour’s dying merit,

All His sufferings for mankind :

True Recorder of His passion,

Now the living faith impart ;

Now reveal His great salvation

Unto every faithful heart.

2

Come, Thou witness of His dying ;

Come, Remembrancer Divine ;

Let us feel Thy power applying

Christ to every soul, and mine ;

Let us groan Thine inward groaning ;

Look on Him we pierced, and

grieve ;

All partake the grace atoning—–

All the sprinkled blood receive.

3

Yes, in me, in me He dwelleth ;

I in Him, and He in me !

And my empty soul He filleth,

Here and through eternity.

Thus I wait for His returning,

Singing ail the way to heaven ;

Such the joyous song of morning,

Such the banquet song of even.
