Lyrics 1. Saviour, on thy word relying, We ahve gathered in thy name; Thou hast told us ev'ry promise We by simple faith may claim. Chorus: Come, oh, come, thou gracious Spirit, Come, oh come, in power and might; Consecrate anew, we pray thee, Consecrate our souls tonight. 2. Lo, our gift is on the altar, Let the fire consume its dross; Bind, oh bind our hearts affections Closer, closer to the cross. 3. More in earnest in our labor, More united let us be; Thou the vine and we the branches, Make and keep us one in thee. 4. Thus together may we journey To our Father's home above; Patient, faithful persevering-- Armed with zeal and filled with love.
