Lord, as of old, at Pen­te­cost,
Thou didst Thy pow­er dis­play,
With cleans­ing, pu­ri­fy­ing flame,
Descend on us to­day.

Refrain

Lord, send the old-time pow­er,
The Pen­te­cost­al pow­er!
Thy flood­gates of bless­ing,
On us throw op­en wide!
Lord, send the old-time pow­er,
The Pen­te­cost­al pow­er!
That sin­ners be con­vert­ed
And Thy name glo­ri­fied!

For migh­ty works for Thee, pre­pare
And strength­en ev­ery heart;
Come, take pos­ses­sion of Thine own,
And ne­ver more de­part.

Refrain

All self con­sume, all sin de­stroy!
With earn­est zeal en­due
Each wait­ing heart to work for Thee;
O Lord, our faith re­new!

Refrain

Speak, Lord! be­fore Thy throne we wait,
Thy pro­mise we be­lieve,
And will not let Thee go un­til
The bless­ing we re­ceive.
