Chorus: Let us tarry, let us tarry for the pow’r, For the old-time pow’r of Pentecost; Let us tarry, humbly tarry, Till He fill us with the Holy Ghost. 2 We are powerless and weak without the presence of the blessed Holy Ghost our hearts within; Breathe upon us now from heav’n, promise of the Savior giv’n; Make us strong to go the lost of earth to win. [Chorus] 3 Now the glorious scene of old once more repeating, While with one accord we tarry in this place; Lord, we cannot let Thee go till a blessing Thou bestow, Wholly sanctify and save us by Thy grace.
