1 Savior, fill me with Thy Spirit,
As I seek and wait and pray;
Bend and break me, blessed Master,
make me wholly Thine today.

Refrain:
While I bow in full surrender,
Yielding all I have to Thee,
Come and fill me with Thy Spirit,
Sanctify Thyself in me.

2 I would tarry in Thy presence
Till endued with pow’r and love;
I would know the mighty fulness
Of the Spirit from above. [Refrain]

3 All my labors unavailing,
All my efforts weak and vain;
Not by might, but by Thy Spirit
Can I e’er success attain. [Refrain]

4 Will He come in all His fulness
As I know obey Thy call?
Yes, O yes, for Thou hast promised
If I come confessing all. [Refrain]
