Call’d by the Holy Ghost alone

Verse 1
Call’d by the Holy Ghost alone
The labourers are called by God,
One with the Father and the Son
The Spirit hath their grace bestow’d,
Their ministerial honour given,
And sent the messengers of heaven.

Verse 2
None but th’ Almighty Spirit can
Set his own officers apart,
His chosen instruments ordain,
And sinners by their word convert,
While taught of him they testify,
That Spirit is the Lord most high.
