1055
The Power of the Holy Ghost
1. The Holy Ghost bears witness of Christ
And purifies our lives.
His still, small voice will guide our choice
To follow truth and light.
[Chorus]
Now we can speak with the tongue of angels,
Praising the name of the Lord of Hosts.
Now we can sing of the love of Jesus
Through the pow’r of the Holy Ghost.
2. The Holy Ghost will fill us with hope,
Give comfort in our pain.
His voice assures that we can endure
And live with God again.
[Chorus]
Now we can speak with the tongue of angels,
Praising the name of the Lord of Hosts.
Now we can sing of the love of Jesus
Through the pow’r of the Holy Ghost.
3. The Holy Ghost will show unto us
All things that we should do—
To walk God’s way and strive to obey,
Repent and live anew.
[Chorus]
Now we can speak with the tongue of angels,
Praising the name of the Lord of Hosts.
Now we can sing of the love of Jesus
Through the pow’r of the Holy Ghost.
The prophet Nephi taught that angels speak the words of Christ by the power of the Holy Ghost. He also taught that the Holy Ghost can give us the power to speak with the tongue of angels and praise the Son of God. (See 2 Nephi 32:2–3; 31:13.)
