Beautiful Spirit of God

Come, holy and beautiful Spirit of God.
Let blessings fall on Your children.
Occupy all of our being, nor hide
Any thing You are doing.

Your Holy Fire ~ bring into our hearts.
Burn out the dross and impure.
Exhaust us with passions of Love of God
And help us to stand and endure.

Your Holy Spirit, so loving and kind,
Please residence in my being
'Til all around will look and say,
"It must be an angel we're seeing."

Come, Holy Spirit, abide in my heart
'Til love flows out like a stream.
Wash me, each day, in Your holy way
Until I am eternally clean.
