1 Sinners, lift up your hearts,
the Promise to receive!
Jesus Himself imparts,
He comes in us to live.
The Holy Ghost to us is giv'n,
the Holy Ghost to us in giv'n;
rejoice in God sent down from heav'n.
2 Jesus is glorified,
and gives the Comforter;
His Spirit to reside
in all His members here.
The Holy Ghost to us is giv'n,
the Holy Ghost to us in giv'n;
rejoice in God sent down from heav'n.
3 To make an end of sin,
and Satan’s works destroy,
He brings His kingdom in peace,
righteousness, and joy.
The Holy Ghost to us is giv'n,
the Holy Ghost to us in giv'n;
rejoice in God sent down from heav'n.
4 The cleansing blood t'apply;
the heav'nly life display;
and wholly sanctify,
and seal us to that day.
The Holy Ghost to us is giv'n,
the Holy Ghost to us in giv'n;
rejoice in God sent down from heav'n.
5 Sent down to make us meet
to see His glorious face,
and grant to each a seat
in that thrice happy place.
The Holy Ghost to us is giv'n,
the Holy Ghost to us in giv'n;
rejoice in God sent down from heav'n.
6 From heav'n He shall once more
triumphantly descend,
and all His saints restore
to joys that never end.
Then, then, when all our joys are giv'n,
Then, then, when all our joys are giv'n;
rejoice in God, rejoice in heav'n.
