O Lord, I’ve grieved Thy Holy Spirit,
Loose, rebellious, cold to Thee;
Still, all my sinning and backsliding
Never yet have wearied Thee!
Loose, rebellious, cold to Thee;
Still, all my sinning and backsliding
Never yet have wearied Thee!
More of Thy Holy Spirit grant us;
Shine and burn increasingly;
Come, Thine own self as life supply us,
Thus to pray unceasingly.

Oh, how Thy Spirit long has waited
While my heart was slowly turned;
How oft Thy heart of love I’ve slighted,
While for me it grieved and burned.
While my heart was slowly turned;
How oft Thy heart of love I’ve slighted,
While for me it grieved and burned.

Lord, now Thy Spirit is within me;
I enthrone Thee as my Lord;
Cause me, O dearest Lord, to tremble
At Thy least and slightest word.
I enthrone Thee as my Lord;
Cause me, O dearest Lord, to tremble
At Thy least and slightest word.

Lord, even though today we cannot
Love Thee as Thou lovest us,
If Thou my cold, weak heart wouldst kindle,
It won’t stay forever thus.
Love Thee as Thou lovest us,
If Thou my cold, weak heart wouldst kindle,
It won’t stay forever thus.
