The Old Story in Song ‎#98

98. The Pentecostal Power

1 The pow’r that fell at Pentecost,
When in that upper room,
Upon the watching, waiting ones,
The Holy Ghost had come.
Remaineth evermore the same;
Unchanging still, O praise His name.

Refrain:
The pow’r, the pow’r, the Pentecostal pow’r
Is just the same today.
Is Just the same today.
The pow’r, the pow’r, the Pentecostal pow’r
Is just the same today.

2 “Ye shall have pow’r" ,said Jesus, when
Thy Holy Ghost is come;
“Your loosened tongues shall speak His praise,
Your lips no more be dumb,
The timid, shrinking ones be brave,
To reach a hand the lost to save. [Refrain]

3 The wav’ring shall steadfast become;
The weak in faith be strong,
With holy boldness going forth,
Denouncing sin and wrong;
With burning zeal each heart aflame,
A whole salvation to proclaim. [Refrain]

4 Breathe on us now the Holy Ghost,
The young and old inspire;
Let each receive his Pentecost,
Send hearts and tongues of fire;
Thou wonderful transforming pow’r,
Come now in this accepted hour. [Refrain]
