5618. The Power of the Holy Ghost

1. Come, Spirit, come in mighty power,
As on the blessèd day of old
When fell the Pentecostal shower
That gathered thousands to the fold.

Refrain
Nothing but the power of the Holy Ghost
Can sanctify and keep through a Savior’s love,
And light within our souls the flame
That burns on the altar of Heav’n above.

2. O for a mighty rushing wind
To fill this consecrated place,
That sinners lost might seek and find
The gate of hope, the door of grace. [Refrain]

3. O for a power that heals the heart,
That takes away the dross of sin,
That we may, like the world, depart,
And let the King of Glory in. [Refrain]

4. Dear Savior, from Thy throne on high
Now grant the power for which we call,
Till shouts of rapture fill the sky,
And Thou, O Lord, art all in all. [Refrain]
