The Holy Spirit's Power

The holy Spirit's power Ye need th master said " So wait till comes the hours when on you He is shed so praise did all their soul employ as tarried they with fervent joy

And when ten days were passed With one accord were they, Heaven's window long closed fast, were opened on that day with rushing mighty wind and flame The promised Holy Ghost came

Their loosened tongues were filled with strange and wondrous words; Heaven's life their hearts has thrilled, God's goodness they declared; " And unto all, "th' Apostle said, " Is the gift, since Christ has bled."

Come now, ye sons of men This message now received , The holy spirit given To all believe; Ye, too, may know His mighty power, And speak with tongues this very hour.

Then charity divine Your yaerning hearts shall fill T'wards those who now repine, Held in sin's bondage still; For these your zeal shall never tire To snatch them from the everlsating fire.
