ENGULFED IN THE SPIRIT
Singing songs of joy, about two thousand strong,
Missionaries of all ages in that mighty throng,
Tears of pure love running down many a face,
Feeling of the Saviour’s great love and grace.

Engulfed in His love, engulfed in His power,
Engulfed with the spirit in that sacred hour,
Knowing we were going off to serve the Lord,
Wanting to spread the knowledge of His word.

Like a mighty army, robed in God’s sweet love,
All of us wanting to teach of dear heaven above,
Wanting to deliver many souls from darkness,
Wanting with His love some of His children to bless.

I pray that the sweet spirit I felt will always stay,
All two thousand of us show many the true way,
Help to seek and find many good souls to save
From sin, and never to fear death or the grave.

Engulf us spirit, so the gospel we may proclaim,
Go to teach others of Thy great name,
May our hearts and minds ever be worthy,
That we may be good brave servants for Thee.
