What spirit have you, my brother?

What spirit have you, my friend?

The Spirit of Christ your Saviour?

The Spirit He promised to send?

A Spirit that giveth comfort?

A Spirit that leads to prayer?

A Spirit that seeks communion

With Jesus everywhere?

A Spirit that maketh humble?

A Spirit of love and power?

A Spirit that feels for others

Each moment, each day, each hour?

There is a spirit of evil

Abroad in the land today.

What spirit, my friend, is ruling

And guiding your mind, oh, say?

Yes, Satan with all his angels

Is working in hearts below,

To lead them far from God’s glory

Deep down to the depths of woe.

‘Tis faith that will bring the Spirit

Of God to your soul and mine.

Arise, then, and grasp the promise,

Arise and your light will shine.
