To those of ev'ry tribe and race They witnessed unafraid, And filled with the Spirit, They broke their bread and prayed. 3 They saw God's Word prevail, His kingdom still increase, No part of all his purpose fail, No promised blessing cease, And filled with the Spirit, Knew love and joy and peace. 4 Their theme was Christ alone, The Lord who lived and died, Who rose to his eternal throne At God the Father's side, And filled with the Spirit The church was multiplied. 5 So to this present hour Our task is still the same, In pentecostal love and pow'r His gospel to proclaim, And filled with the Spirit, Rejoice in Jesus' Name.
