28. A New Touch of Fire

1 O, the Holy Ghost came in,
When my soul was cleansed from sin,
And my heart now entertains no base desire;
It has burned out all the dross,
And no more I suffer loss,
For I have received a glad new touch of fire.

Refrain:
I’ve a glad new touch of fire, bless His name,
Since the Spirit of the Mighty Savior came;
Now the old desire is gone;
And I’m bravely pressing on,
I’ve a glad new touch of fire, bless His name.

2 With my heart and tongue aflame,
I will laud His blessed name,
To the work of His great kingdom I aspire;
I will witness In His name,
And His love and grace proclaim,
For I have received a glad new touch of fire. [Refrain]

3 To His promise I will cling,
Of His goodness ever sing,
For He lifted me in pity from the mire;
And on Him I can depend,
For He is my truest Friend,
Since I have received a glad new touch of fire. [Refrain]

4 I’ll rejoice in Him each day,
As I journey on my way,
And the strength to pray and labor I’ll acquire;
He has sanctified my soul,
Now I’m every whit made whole,
For I have received a glad new touch of fire. [Refrain]
