260. Receive the Holy Ghost

1 There's a liberty in Christ for thee;
Yes, Jesus came to set thee free,
That thou might'st pure and holy be–
Receive the Holy Ghost.

Refrain:
Receive the Holy Ghost,
Receive the Holy Ghost;
Where He doth dwell, 'tis well, 'tis well,
He saves to the uttermost.
Receive the Holy Ghost,
The blessed Holy Ghost;
He'll guide your way to endless day–
Receive the Holy Ghost.

2 Jesus has risen from the grave,
The dying sons of men to save;
And now if you on Him believe,
Receive the Holy Ghost. [Refrain]

3 He sends us forth the world to tell,
That He hath died and all is well;
But if you'd conquer death and hell,
Receive the Holy Ghost. [Refrain]

4 His death from sin doth set us free,
And gives us holy liberty;
But if your heart assured would be,
Receive the Holy Ghost. [Refrain]

5 Would you have glory in your soul?
Would you have pow'r to make men whole,
And comfort ev'ry burdened soul?
Receive the Holy Ghost. [Refrain]

6 Would you be ready for the King,
And with His ransomed people sing,
When heav'n and earth with praise shall ring?
Receive the Holy Ghost. [Refrain]
