Hymn 216
Lord, as of old at Pentecost
- Lord, as of old at Pentecost
Thou didst Thy pow'r display,
With cleansing, purifying flame
Descend on us today.
Lord, send the old-time pow'r.
The Pentecostal pow'r!
Thy floodgates of blessing on us throw open wide!
Lord, send the old-time pow'r.
The Pentecostal pow'r
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 nevermore depart.
- All self consume, all sin destroy!
With earnest zeal endue
Each waiting heart to work for Thee;
Oh, Lord, our faith renew!
- Speak, Lord! Before Thy throne we wait,
Thy promise we believe,
And will not let Thee go until
The blessing we receive!
