Pentecost in my soul

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 pow’r 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!

refrain
