Lyrics
For the pardon of sin,
for the Holy Spirit,
for a Christlike temper,
for wisdom and strength
to do His work,
for any gift
He has promised,
we may ask;
then we are to believe
that we receive,
and return thanks to God
that we have received.
We need look for
no outward evidence
no outward evidence
of the blessing.
The gift is in the promise,
The gift is in the promise,
and we may go
about our work
assured that
what God has promised
He is able to perform,
He is able to perform,
and that the gift,
which we already possess,
will be realized
when we need it most.
when we need it most.
