Come, Thou everlasting Spirit,
Bring to ev'ry thankful mind
All the Saviour's dying merit,
All His suff'rings for mankind;
True Recorder of His passion,
Now the living faith impart;
Now reveal His great salvation
Unto ev'ry faithful heart.
Come, Thou Witness of His dying;
Come, Remembrancer Divine;
Let us feel Thy pow'r applying
Christ to ev'ry 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.
Yes, in me, in me He dwelleth:
I in Him, and He in me!
And my empty soul He filleth,
Here and thro' eternity.
Such the joyous song of morning,
Such the banquet song of ev'n,
Thus I wait for His returning,
Singing all the way to heav'n.
