Refrain: We must tarry till we get the power, We must tarry till we get the power! We will carry sword and shield, We will never, never yield, For we’ll tarry till we get the pow’r. 2 When the Holy Ghost descended, On that Pentecostal day, And those waiting hearts the promise pleaded o’er; Like a rushing wind from heaven, Came the fire from off the throne; It was there those brave disciples got the pow’r.

To the Harvest Field
