Cântăre Baptism of the holy spirit

1. Let cloven tongues of holy fire

Baptize each soul with pow’r;

Come, blessed Spirit, sanctify

With Jesus’ blood this hour.



R: Like a peaceful dove

From the courts above,

Let Thy sacred presence steal

O’er my trusting soul,

Taking full control,

As I here in meekness kneel.



2. Come, blessed Spirit, and restore

God’s image in my heart;

By faith now cleanse me, I implore,

This crowning grace impart.



3. Come, blessed Spirit, Comforter,

Dwell in my heart, Thy throne;

Make me o’er sin a conqueror,

Oh, seal me for Thine own.



4. Oh, let Thy glory, Lord, descend

Upon my waiting soul;

Preserve me spotless to the end,

And every whit made whole.



R: I believe just now,

As I humbly bow,

That the blood has been applied;

It is done, I know,

For Thy word is so—

I am wholly sanctified.
