Christ My Song - 1905

Lord, we plead thy promise given
(Thomas Kelly/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Lord, we plead thy promise given.

"Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost."
(1 Corinthians 6,19)

1. Lord, we plead thy promise given;
let thy Spirit come from heaven;
  ours to ask, and thine to grant:
  Lord, supply thy people's want. PDF - Midi

2. Kindle in our hearts a flame,
pure and vehement – the same
  as of old thy people felt,
  those in whom thy Spirit dwelt.

3. At thy feet thy servants see;
good it is to wait on thee:
  good to wait, and good to pray,
  send us not unblessed away.

4. Be our bodies thine abode,
temples of the Lord our God;
  living, dying, let us be
  consecrated, Lord, to thee.

Thomas Kelly, Hymns on various passages of Scripture, ca. 1853, Hymn 149.
