Come, Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit came at Pentecost,
He came in mighty fullness then.
His witness through believers won the lost,
and multitudes were born again;
The early Christians scattered o'er the world,
they preached the gospel fearlessly.
Though some were martyred and to lions hurled,
they marched along in victory.

Chorus:
Come Holy Spirit, dark is the hour;
We need Your filling, Your love, and Your mighty pow'r.
Move now among us, stir us we pray,
come, Holy Spirit, revive the Church today.

Then in an age when darkness gripped the Earth,
the just shall live by faith was learned.
The Holy Spirit gave the church new birth,
as reformation fires burned.
In later years the great revivals came,
when saints would seek the Lord and pray,
O, once again we need that holy flame,
to meet the challenge of today.
