The Cyber Hymnal ‎#6629

6629. They Were in an Upper Chamber

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 power just now,
O Lord, send the power just now;
O Lord, send the power just now
And baptize every one.

2. Yes, the power from Heav’n descended
With the sound of rushing wind;
Tongues of fire came down upon them,
As the Lord said He would send. [Refrain]

3. Yes, this old time power was given
To our fathers who were true;
This is promised to believers,
And we all may have it too. [Refrain]
