1 When the pow’r of God descended
On the day of Pentecost
All the days of waiting ended
They received the Holy Ghost.

Refrain:
O Lord, send the pow’r just now;
O Lord, send the pow’r just now,
O Lord, send the pow’r just now,
And baptize ev’ry one.

2 Tongues of flame came down upon them,
And they preach’d the world in pow’r,
List’ning multitudes awakened
Turn’d to God that very hour. [Refrain]

3 We are waiting, Holy Spirit
We are all of one accord
Lord fulfill just now the promise
That is given in thy word. [Refrain]

4 Fill and thrill us with thy presence,
Grant the blessing that we need
Flood our souls with wondrous glory,
While the pray’r of faith we plead. [Refrain]
