Tune:[I want to be filled with the Spirit of glory]
Composer:Charles P. Jones

271. I Want to be Filled

1 I want to be filled with the Spirit of glory,
Filled with the Spirit of love;
I want the bright wings of the Lord hovered o'er me,
Wings of Jehovah above.

Refrain:
I am not satisfied,
Long as I am denied,
The promise of heaven,
The Holy Ghost given,
I am not satisfied.

2 The Spirit of wisdom and knowledge I'm craving,
Spirit of God's holy fear,
The Spirit of power for Christians believing,
Spirit of faith and of prayer. [Refrain]

3 This promise, O Saviour, now haste Thee to grant me;
Fill me, O fill me, I pray;
O let not the world, flesh nor Satan prevent Thee,
Grant me the fullness today. [Refrain]

4 O glory to God! I believe, I believe it!
Jesus has answered my pray'r!
By faith I have asked, and by faith I receive it;
Glory, the blessing is here!
Now I am satisfied,
Christ has not me denied,
The promise of heaven,
The Holy Ghost given,
Now I am satisfied.

5 The Spirit of holiness, Spirit of power,
Spirit of truth, thou art mine:
I take Thee, I take Thee in fullness this hour;
Spirit of God, I am thine.
Now I am satisfied,
Christ has not me denied,
The promise of heaven,
The Holy Ghost given,
Now I am satisfied.
