Lyrics

"[Verse 1]
They were in an upper chamber,
They were all with one accord,
When the Holy Ghost descended,
As was promised by the Lord.

[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.

[Verse 2]
Yes, this pow'r from heav’n descended,
With the sound of rushing wind;
Tongues of fire came down upon them,
As the Lord said He would send.

[Verse 3]
Yes, this ""old-time"" pow'r was given
To our fathers who were true;
This is promised to believers,
And we all may have it too.
