53. Secret of Power

1 Have you learned the blessed secret
Of the pow’r of Pentecost?
God hath in His word revealed it;
It is by the Holy Ghost.

Chorus:
Not by our toiling, not by our striving,
“But by my Spirit,” thus saith the Lord;
This is the secret, wonderful secret,
Secret of pow’r and blessing outpoured.

2 Have you now this blest enduement,
Freedom in the Holy Ghost?
Perfect liberty in service,
Saved unto the uttermost? [Chorus]

3 Pow’r and unction freely given
By the Spirit shed abroad;
Heritage of all believers,
As recorded in God’s word. [Chorus]

4 May He come in glorious fulness
Into ev’ry waiting heart,
Pentecostal gifts restoring,
Which He only can impart. [Chorus]
