Lyrics

To me the Ho­ly Ghost is giv’n,
An ear­nest of the joys of Heav’n;
Since He has taken full con­trol,
I’ve Pen­te­cost in my soul.

Refrain

I’ve Pen­te­cost in my soul,
I’ve Pen­te­cost in my soul;
The Spi­rit has come, has come to abide;
I’ve Pen­te­cost in my soul.

The Spi­rit dwells my heart with­in
And breaks the pow­er of par­doned sin;
Tho’ o’er my head dark clouds may roll,
I’ve Pen­te­cost in my soul.

Refrain

O ho­ly rest! O peace sub­lime!
He reigns with­in me all the time;
He pu­ri­fies and makes me whole—
I’ve Pen­te­cost in my soul.

Refrain

Then seek this gift with­out de­lay,
Receive the Ho­ly Ghost to­day;
Yield all to His be­nign con­trol,
Let Pen­te­cost fill your soul!
O yes!
