Come, Holy Ghost, And Touch My Tongue

Come, Holy Ghost, and touch my tongue

As with a living flame;

I want the sanctifying grace

My Savior bids me claim.

Refrain

Waiting, I am waiting

For the promise of the Pentecostal shower;

Waiting, I am waiting

For the promise of Thy wondrous, mighty power.

Come, Holy Ghost, with sacred fire

Baptize this heart of mine;

Break every earthly idol down,

And all its dross refine.

Refrain

I want a self renouncing will,

That owns His sweet control,

And through my life I want His love

A ceaseless flood to roll.

Refrain

Come, Holy Ghost, the blood apply

As Thou hast ne'er before,

That I may shout my Savior's praise

Henceforth and evermore.
