Thou didst Thy pow'r display,
With cleansing, purifying flame
Descend on us today.

Lord, send the old-time pow'r,

The Pentecostal pow'r
That sinners be converted and
Thy name glorified!

For mighty works for Thee prepare,
And strengthen every heart;
Come, take possession of Thine own,
And nevermore depart.

All self consume, all sin destroy!
With earnest zeal endue
Each waiting heart to work for Thee;

Thy promise we believe,
And will not let Thee go until
The blessing we receive!
