Lyrics

There are peo­ple al­most ev­ery­where
Whose hearts are all aflame
With the fire that fell at Pen­te­cost,
Which made them all ac­claim;
It is burn­ing now with­in my heart—
All glo­ry to His name!—
And I’m glad that I can say I’m one of them.

Refrain

One of them (one of them), one of them (one of them),
I am glad that I can say I’m one of them;
One of them (one of them), one of them (one of them),
I am glad that I can say I’m one of them.

Though the peo­ple may not learn­èd be,
Nor boast of world­ly fame,
They have all re­ceived their Pen­te­cost,
Through faith in Je­sus’ name;
And are tell­ing now, both far and wide,
His pow­er is yet the same,
And I’m glad that I can say I’m one of them.

Refrain

They were ga­thered in the up­per room,
All pray­ing in His name,
They were bap­tized in the Ho­ly Ghost,
And pow­er for ser­vice came;
Now what He did for them that day
He’ll do for you the same,
And I’m glad that I can say I’m one of them.

Refrain

Come, my bro­ther seek this bless­ing
That will cleanse your heart from sin,
That will start the joy bells ring­ing
And will keep the soul aflame;
It is burn­ing now with­in my heart—
All glo­ry to His name!—
And I’m glad that I can say I’m one of them.
