A Time of Refreshing

Author: E. E. Hewitt Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: There's a time of refreshing from the presence of the Lord Refrain First Line: Send it now, Lord, the Pentecostal blessing Lyrics: 1 There’s a time of refreshing from the presence of the Lord, When the mighty show’rs of blessing richly fall; While our pray’rs are ascending, many songs in sweet accord, And the wand’rers hear the Saviour’s loving call. Refrain: Send it now, Lord, the Pentecostal blessing; All to Thee we consecrate; Blessed time of refreshing from the presence of the Lord, Send it now while we pray and wait. 2 There’s a time of refreshing when the Holy Ghost is come, As he kindles in our hearts the fire of love; Then we’ll see “Jesus only,” lips shall speak that once were dumb, When the Father shall anoint us from above. [Refrain] 3 O the time of rejoicing, when we see our Saviour’s face, And the fullness of His glory we adore; But we’ll tarry a little, in the keeping of His grace, Showing forth His blessed image more and more.
