THE PRECIOUS HOLYSPIRIT

IN AN ENDLESS TRADITION OF GOD'S WORD AND THE MIRACULOUS!!!

There is a Pentecostal Breath;
The Spirit's gracious dower-
and souls upraised from sin and death
are quickened by His power.
Oh to be filled with life divine;
oh to be clothed with might;
oh to reflect the lord and shine
as shine the saints in light.

There is a pure baptismal fire;
a sacrificial flame;
which doth the inmost soul inspire
with love in Jesus name.
oh to be purged from sin vile faint
oh to be drawn by love's constraint
to blessing manifold.

There is an Unction from on high;
the holy oil of joy-
which all our need can satisfy;
which nought can ever destroy.
We thank thee lord for this great Gift
in such abundant flow
as doth both heart and mind uplift
the truth of God to know.

The Holyspirit like a dove
comes in His gentle grace
diffusing peace from Heaven above
on every troubled heart and face.
Oh to be kept so calm and still;
mid sorrows surging round-
that faith and hope my heart may fill
and charity abound.

There is a Seal both strong and sure,
which makes the immortal heir;
and they who have Him shall endure
thru every toil and care.
We hail the Spirit's inward voice-
earnest of perfect rest;
which makes the trusting soul rejoice
as those whom God hath blest. Amen
