Disciples of the Holy One,
Have ye the Holy Ghost received?
Has heaven’s baptismal fire come down
Upon your souls since ye believed?
The great Refiner, has He come
And purified your souls from sin?
And in your hearts set up His home,
And brought His heavenly Kingdom in?

The Pentecostal hallowed shower,
Which on the waiting suppliants came,
The blest anointing, sacred power,
The all-inspiring, heavenly flame—
Are all your inmost powers imbued
With Christ like sweetness, holy joy,
With Jesus’ blessed mind endued,
Do heavenly things your powers employ?

Are you in perfect harmony
With God’s own will each day and hour?
In all things only Him to see
And ever feel His saving power?
A spotless soul, a single eye,
A spirit filled with love and peace?
A life, His name to glorify,
Your God alone to serve and please?

The blessed Comforter divine
Delights to make us His abode,
In His own brightness thus to shine
As trophies of His saving blood;
Oh, Holy Ghost, how blest Thy sway
To purify and save each day;
Oh, Christians, have ye yet received
The Holy Ghost since ye believed?
