Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, alone
Can turn our hearts from sin;
His pow'r alone can sanctify
And keep us pure within.

Refrain (1-3):
O Spirit of Faith and Love,
Come in our midst, we pray,
And purify each waiting heart;
Baptize us with pow'r today.

Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, alone
Can deeper love inspire;
His pow'r alone within our souls
Can light the sacred fire.

Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, can bring
The gifts we seek in prayer,
His voice can words of comfort speak
And still each wave of care.

Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, can give
The grace we need this hour;
And while we wait, O Spirit, come
In sanctifying pow'r.

Refrain (4):
O Spirit of Love, descend,
Come in our midst, we pray,
And like a rushing, mighty wind
Sweep over our souls today.
