Author: Charles P. Jones Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #141 (1977) First Line: When the Lord to heav'n ascended Refrain First Line: O Lord, grant the power just now! Lyrics: 1 When the Lord to heav'n ascended
His disciples He did tell
To tarry at Jerusalem
Till the pow'r upon them fell.
Refrain:
O Lord, grant the power just now!
O Lord, grant the power just now!
O Lord, grant the power just now,
And baptize ev'ry one.
2 When the Spirit from heav'n descended
They were all with one accord
In the upper room assembled,
All waiting for the Lord. [Refrain]
3 Yea, the Holy Ghost descended
As the sound of rushing wind;
Tongues of fire sat upon them
Which the Lord from heav'n did send. [Refrain]
4 O the pow'r of soul, conviction!
How we need that pow'r today!
It is promised to believers;
Send it on us, Lord, we pray. [Refrain]
5 O the pow'r of God's true Spirit!
May it baptize ev'ry heart;
May ev'ry one receive it,
And with us have a part. [Refrain]
6 O, it is the old-time power
Which the father's hearts did fill!
It made them love the Saviour,
And delight to do His will. [Refrain]
7 'Tis an overcoming power,
And it keeps our hearts from sin;
And it makes us bold to witness
That the Saviour dwells within. [Refrain] Topics: Holy Spirit; Power Scripture: Luke 24:49 Languages: English Tune Title: [When the Lord to heav'n ascended]
