Representative Text

1 As Jesus was standing on Olivet’s hill,
And with Him His own faithful few,
He said “Don’t depart from the city until
The fire shall fall upon you.”

Refrain:
Pray till the victory comes,
Pray till the victory comes;
Pray through, pray through,
The fire will fall upon you.

2 One hundred and twenty obeyed His command,
And tarried in His blessed name;
While in one accord, and believing His word,
The fiery baptism came. [Refrain]

3 “Just take it by faith,” you will hear many say,
And faith we must have, it is true;
But please don’t forget, the price must be paid,
If the fire would fall on you. [Refrain]

4 Now, brother, if you will give Jesus your all,
And do what He wants you to do,
He’ll grant your desire, and this very hour
The fire will fall upon you. [Refrain]
