| 1 | The Spirit of life is within us today, |
| | Who’s likened to water our thirst to allay; |
| | Of Him we may drink and be filled thus with Him, |
| | Until as a river He flows from within. |
| 2 | The Spirit of pow’r comes upon us today, |
| | Who’s likened to clothing ourselves to array; |
| | In Him we are baptized, with Him we are dressed, |
| | For service equipping with power possessed. |
| 3 | The Spirit of life is as breath glorious, |
| | As spirit of life it is breathed into us; |
| | The Spirit of pow’r doth the wind typify, |
| | Which bloweth upon us with pow’r from on high. |
| 4 | Into His disciples the risen Lord breathed, |
| | The Spirit of life thus to them He bequeathed; |
| | Th’ ascended Lord poured at the Pentecost hour |
| | Upon His disciples the Spirit of pow’r. |
| 5 | The Spirit of life is within as the life, |
| | The Spirit of power is giv’n for this life; |
| | As blowing of wind- brings the fresh air to breathe, |
| | The Spirit of power to life doth bequeath. |
| 6 | These are not two spirits apart and afar, |
| | But of the one Spirit the two functions are, |
| | To clothe us with God and to fill us within, |
| | That we may be thoroughly mingled with Him. |
| 7 | Lord, fill with Thy Spirit of life every part, |
| | That we may grow up in Thy life as Thou art; |
| | And clothe us without with Thy Spirit of pow’r |
| | Thy will to fulfill in Thy service each hour. |
