I Want the spirit of power within,

Of love, and of a healthful mind:

Of power to conquer every sin;

Of love to God and all mankind;

Of health that pain and death defies,

Most vigorous when the body dies.

O, that the Comforter would come,

Nor visit as a transient guest,

But fix in me his constant home,

And keep possession of my breast;

And make my soul his loved abode,

The temple of indwelling God!
