The Hymnal ‎#220

220. Lord, we believe to us and ours

1 Lord, we believe to us and ours
The apostolic promise given;
We wait the pentecostal powers,
The Holy Ghost sent down from heaven.

2 To everyone whom God shall call
The promise is securely made;
To you far off, he calls you all;
Believe the word which Christ hat said:

3 "The Holy Ghost, if I depart,
The Comforter shall surely come,
Shall make the contrite sinner's heart,
His loved, his everlasting home."

4 Assembled here with one accord,
Calmly we wait the promised grace,
The purchase of our dying Lord,
Come, Holy Ghost, and fill the place.

Amen.
