1 Send salvation, Lord, send Thy full salvation, Lord,
Send it now, send it now;
Lost without Thy grace, show Thy reconciled face,
Send salvation, send it now,
Send salvation, send it now.

2 Send Thy Pardon, Lord, send Thy gracious pardon, Lord,
Send it now, send it now;
Come in saving grace, sweep these altars, fill this place,
Send Thy pardon, send it now,
Send Thy pardon, send it now.

3 Send, O send the fire, send the all-refining fire,
Send it now, send it now;
Oh, consume our sin, sanctify and make us clean,
Send the fire, O send it now,
Send the fire, O send it now.

4 Send, O send the power, send the Pentecostal power,
Send it now, send it now;
Blessed Holy Ghost, breathe upon this waiting host,
Send the power, O send it now.
Send the power, O send it now.

5 For He comes, He comes, lo, the blessed Spirit comes,
Fills me now, fills me now;
Fully saved I am, glory, glory to the Lamb
For He comes and fills me now,
For He comes and fills me now.

Author: Mrs. C. H. Morris

Lelia (Mrs. C.H.) Morris (1862-1929) was born in Pennsville, Morgan County, Ohio. When her family moved to Malta on the Muskingum River she and her sister and mother had a millinery shop in McConnelsville. She and her husband Charles H. Morris were active in the Methodist Episcopal Church and at the camp meetings in Sebring and Mt. Vernon. She wrote hymns as she did her housework. Although she became blind at age 52 she continued to write hymns on a 28-foot long blackboard that her family had built for her. She is said to have written 1000 texts and many tunes including "Sweeter as the years go by." Mary Louise VanDyke Go to person page >
