Hymn 219: The Pow’r that Fell at Pentecost,

Verse 1

The Pow”r that Fell at Pentecost,

When in the upper room,

Upon the watching, waiting ones,

The Holy Ghost had come,

Remaineth evermore the same;

Unchanging Still, O praise His name.

 

 

The pow’r…. the pow’r… the

Pentecostal pow’r

Is just the same to-day,…

Is just the same to-day,…

The pow’r…. the pow’r… the Pente-

costal pow’r,

Is just… the same to-day.

 

Verse 2

“Ye shall have power (said Jesus)

when

The 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.

 

Verse 3

The wav’ring shall steadfast be-

come,

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.

 

Verse 4

Breathe on us now the Holy Ghost,

The young and old inspire;

Let each receive his Pentecost,

Set hearts and tongues afire!

Thou wonderful transforming power,

Come now in this accepted hour.

Mrs. C. H. Morris.
