Author: Rev. H. J. Zelley Hymnal: Our Praise in Song #33 (1893) First Line: Again we come with songs of praise Lyrics: 1 Again we come with songs of praise, To him whose goodness crowns our days; In Christian fellowship we meet, To worship at our Saviour's feet. Refrain: Come, Holy Spirit, meet us here, And may we know that thou art near; Come, satisfy our heart's desire, And send the Pentecostal fire. 2 Come, save us from our bosom sin, May all be clean without, within; Take from us all unholy pride, May we with Christ be crucified. [Refrain] 3 Our all is on the altar laid, A perfect consecration made; Come here, O God, this very hour, And seal us by thy Spirit's power. [refrain] 4 Now answer prayer, and let us see Times of refreshing, Lord, from thee; Like floods let thy salvation roll, And purify each waiting soul. [Refrain] Languages: English
