Verse 1
Tarry For The Spirit
He shall come in show’rs
Energising wholly
All your ransom’d pow’rs;
Signs shall follow service
In the Holy Ghost,
Then the Church of Jesus
Prove a mighty host.
On, then, Church of Jesus,
Claim your Pentecost;
God shall now baptize Thee
In the Holy Ghost
Verse 2
“Rivers” is Thy promise
This shall be our plea,
Less than this can never
Meet our cry for Thee;
Tried of lukewarm service,
And the loss it brings,
We would live entirely
Verse 3
When the Spirit cometh,
Loosened lips shall tell,
Of the wondrous blessing
Which upon them fell;
Life of Jesus springing,
Like a well within,
Hearts with loud hosannas,
Constantly shall ring.
Verse 4
When with joy we follow
In Christ’s triumph train,
And our lives are flooded
With the latter Rain;
Then the world around us
Shall the impact feel,
Of a Church with vision,
Fired with holy zeal.
Verse 5
Then the Lord of Glory
Shall be magnified,
He who trod the winepress,
Fully satisfied;
Walking in the Spirit,
Condemnation o’er,
Blessed life of worship,
Now and evermore.
E. C. W. Boulton.
