O come and dwell in me

377 Old 134th (St. Michael). S. M.

1. O come and dwell in me,
   Spirit of power within,
   And bring the glorious liberty
   From sorrow, fear, and sin.

2. Hasten the joyful day
   Which shall my sins consume,
   When old things shall be done away,
   And all things new become.

3. I want the witness, Lord,
   That all I do is right,
   According to Thy mind and Word,
   Well pleasing in Thy sight.

4. I ask no higher state;
   Indulge me but in this,
   And soon or later then translate
   To my eternal bliss.

Not one of Wesley's better known hymns, only occurring in about 160 hymnals. I don't recall ever singing it, but I do like it.
