The Holy Spirit's Power
Verse 1
"The Holy Spirit's power Ye need," the Master said; "So wait till comes the hour When on you He is shed So praise did all their souls employ As tarried they with fervent joy.
Verse 2
And when ten days were passed With one accord were they, Heaven's windows long closed fast, Were opened on that day; With rushing mighty wind and flame, The promised Holy Spirit came.
Verse 3
Their loosened tongues were filled With strange and wondrous words; Heaven's life their hearts had thrilled, God's goodness they declared; "And unto all," th' Apostle said, "Is the like gift, since Christ has bled."
Verse 4
Come now, ye sons of men, This message now receive, The Holy Spirit's given To all who will believe; Ye, too, may know His mighty power, And speak with tongues this very hour.
Verse 5
Then charity divine, Your yearning hearts shall fill T'wards those who now repine, Held in sin's bondage still; For these your zeal shall never tire To snatch them from th' e'erlasting fire.
