Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: When the pow'r of God descended

But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you. Act.1:8

1.  When the pow'r of God descended
     On the day of Pentecost,
     All the days of waiting ended,
     They received the Holy Ghost.

    O Lord, send the pow'r just now,
    O Lord, send the pow'r just now,
    O Lord, send the pow'r just now,
    And baptize, every one.

2.  Tongues of flame came down upon them,
     And they preached the word in pow'r,
     List'ning multitudes awaken'd
     Turned to God that very hour.

3.  We are waiting Holy Spirit
     We are all of one accord,
     Lord fulfil just now the promise
     That is given in Thy Word

4.   Fill and thrill us with thy presence,
      Grant the blessing that we need
      Flood our souls with wondrous glory,
      While the pray'r of faith we plead.
Amen.
