1 They were gathered in an upper chamber,
They were all with one accord;
When the Holy Ghost descended,
Which was promised by the Lord.
Refrain:
Oh, Lord, send the pow’r just now!
Oh, Lord, send the pow’r just now!
Oh, Lord, send the pow’r just now
And baptize ev'ry one!
2 This pow’r from heav’n descended,
As the sound of rushing wind;
Tongues of fire rested there upon them,
Jesus promised he would send. [Refrain]
3 Our fathers had this “old-time” pow’r,
And we all may have it, too;
This He promised to the faithful,
What he promised he will do. [Refrain]
