Tune: | [Let us tarry for the pow'r as Christ commanded] |
Composer: | Mrs. C. H. Morris |
1 Let us tarry for the pow’r as Christ commanded
Ere the opening heavens received Him out of sight;
Let us wait upon the Lord, trusting in His precious word,
Until He endue us with the Spirit’s might.
Chorus:
Let us tarry, let us tarry for the pow’r,
For the old-time pow’r of Pentecost;
Let us tarry, humbly tarry,
Till He fill us with the Holy Ghost.
2 We are powerless and weak without the presence
of the blessed Holy Ghost our hearts within;
Breathe upon us now from heav’n, promise of the Savior giv’n;
Make us strong to go the lost of earth to win. [Chorus]
3 Now the glorious scene of old once more repeating,
While with one accord we tarry in this place;
Lord, we cannot let Thee go till a blessing Thou bestow,
Wholly sanctify and save us by Thy grace. [Chorus]
