1 Filled with the Spirit sent from the Father,
Ever to cheer us, ever to guide;
Comfort in sorrow, joy in affliction,
He in our hearts for aye will abide.

Refrain:
Filled with the Spirit, O how the billows
Of His great love flow over my soul!
Even so, Lord, O let Thy salvation
O’er the whole earth in blessedness roll.

2 Filled with the Spirit sent from the Saviour,
How the bright world around me doth shine;
Filled with the Spirit, O how His favor
Falls on my heart in blessing divine! [Refrain]

3 Filled with the Spirit, fitted for service,
All that I am to Jesus I give;
Filled with the Spirit, doing His bidding,
Only for Jesus now would I live. [Refrain]

4 Filled with the Spirit, we shall have vict’ry
Over the world and Satan and sin;
Filled with the Spirit, we shall find wisdom,
Souls for the Master joyful to win. [Refrain]
