The New Church Hymnal ‎#82

82. Old-Time Power

1 We are gathered for Thy blessing,
We will wait upon our God;
We will trust in Him who loved us,
And who bought us with His blood.

Refrain:
Spirit, now melt and move
All of our hearts with love,
Breathe on us from above
With old-time pow'r.

2 We will glory in Thy power,
We will sing of wondrous grace;
In our midst, as Thou hast promised,
Come, O come, and take Thy place. [Refrain]

3 Bring us low in prayer before Thee
And with faith our souls inspire,
Till we claim, by faith, the promise
Of the Holy Ghost and fire. [Refrain]
