108. The Old-Time Power

1 O Lord, revive the old-time power,
Thy people need a mighty shower;
The power our fathers used to know,
Lord, send the power of long ago.

Chorus:
The old-time power, the old-time power,
O send it, Lord, this very hour;
Let not the old-time power be lost,
Lord, send the fire of Pentecost.

2 The power that in the soul was felt;
The power that made the heart to melt;
The power that caused the tear to flow;
Lord, send that power of long ago. [Chorus]

3 The power that did the prison shake;
The power that made the sinner quake;
That answered to Elijah's call;
Lord, let that power upon us fall. [Chorus]

4 Lord, for that power we look to thee,
The power that made the blind to see;
The power that made the lame to leap,
The deaf to hear, the dumb to speak. [Chorus]

5 O blessed Lord, to thee we pray,
O fill us with that power to-day;
Then we for thee will rise and shine,
And all the glory shall be thine. [Chorus]
