1 Would your hearts be filled with rapture rising o’er the cares of earth,
Know the fullness of his glory hour by hour?
Seek the sunshine of his presence and within his live abide!
He will send the promised pow’r.

Refrain:
He will send the promised pow’r!
He will send the promised pow’r!
O the glory of his presence will within our hearts abide,
He will send the promised pow’r.

2 Would your longing hearts be seeking for the presence of the Lord,
Would you see God’s blessing fall in grateful show’r?
Wait as they who were at Pentecost, be all of one accord,
He will send the promised pow’r. [Refrain]

3 O the pow’r just now is waiting, are you ready to receive?
It is waiting to descend this very hour!
’Tis the Bible’s blest assurance! you have only to believe!
He will send the promised pow’r. [Refrain]
