Waiting on the Lord, to send from Heaven;
Waiting on the Lord, by our faith receiving;
Waiting in the upper room.

The power! the power!
Gives vict’ry over sin, and purity within;
The power! the power!
The pow’r they had at Pentecost.

Waiting on the Lord, till from sin He frees us;
Waiting on the Lord for the heav’nly breezes;
Waiting in the upper room. [Refrain]
3. Waiting on the Lord, longing to mount higher;
Waiting on the Lord, having great desire;
Waiting on the Lord, for the heav’nly fire;
Waiting in the upper room. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Waiting on the Lord, for the promise given] Text Sources: Songs of Peace, Purity and Power No. 2 (Chicago, Illinois: Meyer & Brother, 1903), number 1
