Come as a wisdom to children,
Come as new sight to the blind,
Come, Lord, as strength to my weakness,
Take me soul, body and mind.

(chorus)
Come Holy Spirit, I need You,
Come, Sweet Spirit, I pray;
Come in Your strength and Your power,
Come in Your own gentle way.

Come as a rest to the weary,
Come as a balm to the sore,
Come as a dew to my dryness:
Fill me with joy evermore.

Come like a spring in the desert,
Come to the withered of soul;
O, let your sweet healing power
Touch me and make me whole.

Come in your own gentle way.
