1 Come, mighty Spirit, penetrate
This heart and soul of mine;
And my whole being, with Thy grace,
Pervade, O Life divine.
2 As this clear air surrounds the earth,
Thy grace around me roll;
As the fresh light pervades the air,
So pierce and fill my soul.
3 As, from these clouds, drops down in love
The precious summer rain,
So, from Thyself, pour down the flood
That freshens all again.
4 As these fair flowers exhale their scent
In gladness at our feet,
So from Thyself let fragrance breathe,
More heav’nly and more sweet.
5 Thus life within our lifeless hearts
Shall make its glad abode;
And we shall shine in beauteous light,
Filled with the light of God.
