Refrain: That’s the thing, the very thing, That is what we must acquire; Let us pray once more as they did of yore For the pentecostal fire. 2 He will send it down and our lives will crown With the blessing day by day; If we truly plead for the thing we need In the earnest, old-time way. [Refrain] 3 Let us seek the face of the King of grace, Let us do His holy will; Then the fire will come on each heart and home, For He loves the faithful still.
