Jesus is glorified and gives the Comforter
His Spirit, to reside in all His servants here
The Holy Ghost to man is given:
Rejoice in God sent down from Heaven
To make an end of sin and Satan's work destroy
He brings His Kingdom in peace, righteousness and joy
The Holy Ghost to man is given:
Rejoice in God sent down from Heaven
The cleansing blood to apply, the heavenly life display
And wholly sanctify and seal us to that day
The Holy Ghost to man is given:
Rejoice in God sent down from Heaven
SASB 195 (verses 1-3) ~ Charles Wesley
