The Cyber Hymnal ‎#8005

8005. Have Ye Received The Holy Ghost?

1 Ye are the temples, Jesus hath spoken,
Temples of God’s Holy Spirit divine;
Have ye received Him, bidden Him enter,
Make His abode in that poor heart of thine?

Refrain:
Have ye received, since ye believed,
The blessèd Holy Ghost?
He who was promised, gift of the Father,
Have ye received the Holy Ghost?

2 He who has pardoned surely will cleanse thee,
All of the dross of thy nature refine;
Cleansed from all sin, His Spirit will enter,
Fill you and thrill you with power divine. [Refrain]

3 Showers of mercy, fullness of blessing,
Ever the Spirit’s indwelling attend;
’Tis the enduement, power for service,
Fruits for your labor He surely will send. [Refrain]
