Lyrics

Are you filled with glo­ry, bro­ther?
Are you ful­ly saved from sin?
Is the Ho­ly Spi­rit burn­ing in your soul?
Has the stream from Calv’ry’s moun­tain
Cleansed you per­fect­ly with­in?
Has the Spi­rit in your heart the full con­trol?

Refrain

Glory, glo­ry be to Je­sus,
Now the Com­fort­er abides,
And the waves of peace and glo­ry fill my soul.
I am sanc­ti­fied and hap­py,
Walking by my Sav­ior’s side,
While the streams of life from Hea­ven o’er me roll.

Is the Com­fort­er abid­ing,
Keeping you by pow’r di­vine?
Free from ev­il, in the way of truth each day?
Is He dwell­ing in His tem­ple?
Does His glo­ry in you shine?
Bless the Lord!
I know He’s come in me to stay.

Refrain

Are you free from strife and en­vy,
And from world­li­ness and pride,
Washed and whit­er than the snow in Je­sus’ blood?
If a sin­gle stain of crim­son
Yet with­in you should abide—
Even one, your soul would ban­ish from your God.

Refrain

Are you rea­dy for the Bride­groom,
Robed in gar­ments white and clean?
Is your lamp now filled with oil and burn­ing bright?
Are you liv­ing close to Je­sus?
Do you on His bo­som lean,
Meek and lowly, pure and spot­less in His sight?
