Hymns of the Comforter ‎#59

59. Back to Pentecost

1 “I will not leave you comfortless,”
But if I go away,
Will send the Holy Comforter,
Your royal Guest forevermore,
Abiding day by day.

Refrain:
Has he come to you, to you, to you?
Has the Comforter come to you?
The Lord will reprove the world of sin,
When the Comforter comes to you.

2 Church of the Living God arise
The fullness to receive,
Until the lost in ev’ry place
Shall feel the need of saving grace,
And shall on Christ believe. [Refrain]

3 God’s skies are full of Pentecosts,
For you, for me, for all;
Then let us humbly, boldly press,
Our heritage in Christ possess,
That pow’r from heav’n may fall. [Refrain]

4 Then quickly “back to Pentecost,”
That blessed upper room;
And pray the mighty Lord of Hosts,
To send on us the Holy Ghost,
And tarry till he come. [Refrain]
