260 – Hover O'er Me, Holy Spirit

1
Hover o’er me, Holy Spirit,
Bathe my trembling heart and brow;
Fill me with Thy hallowed presence,
Come, O come and fill me now.

Refrain
Fill me now, fill me now,
Jesus, come and fill me now.
Fill me with Thy hallowed presence,
Come, O come and fill me now.

2
Thou canst fill me, gracious Spirit,
Though I cannot tell Thee how;
But I need Thee, greatly need Thee;
Come, O come and fill me now.

3
I am weakness, full of weakness;
At Thy sacred feet I bow;
Blest, divine, eternal Spirit,
Fill with love, and fill me now.

4
Cleanse and comfort, bless and save me;
Bathe, O, bathe my heart and brow;
Thou art comforting and saving,
Thou art sweetly filling now.

is it coming old age, or what? i discovered this old song. Modern versions of this hymn i think are rather sentimental, but the original could be interpreted as an introvert, pure and truly spiritual prayer. when i hear it, it is as if i am back in de church of my great grand father. when this song was written in 1879, in New Jersey, Ocean Grove Camp, my grandmother had just been born in Ureterp. Totally different world, but somehow the same spirit.

Amazing bit of history S Visser, on this touching and spirtfilled song, for me, it makes me feel closer to the Lord. Thanks for sharing.

Hover o’er me, Holy Spirit,
Bathe my trembling heart and brow;
Fill me with Thy hallowed presence,
Come, O come and fill me now.

Refrain
Fill me now, fill me now,
Jesus, come and fill me now.
Fill me with Thy hallowed presence,
Come, O come and fill me now
