9260. The Pentecostal Power

1 The power that fell at Pentecost,
When in that upper room,
Upon the watching, waiting ones,
The Holy Ghost had come,
Remaineth evermore the same,
Unchanging still, O praise His name!

Refrain:
The power, the power, the Pentecostal power,
Is just the same today, is just the same today;
The power, the power, the Pentecostal power,
Is just the same today.

2 "Ye shall have power," said Jesus when
The Holy Ghost is come.
Your loosened tongues shall speak His praise,
Your lips no more be dumb;
The timid, shrinking ones be brave,
To reach a hand the lost to save. [Refrain]

3 The wavering shall steadfast become;
The weak in faith be strong;
With holy boldness going forth,
Denouncing sin and wrong;
With burning zeal each heart aflame,
A whole salvation to proclaim. [Refrain]

4 Breathe on us now the Holy Ghost,
The young and old inspire;
Let each receive the Pentecost,
Send hearts and tongues of fire;
Thou wonderful transforming power,
Come now in this accepted hour. [Refrain]
