Hymn 247 - Pentecostal Power

The power that fell at Pentecost,

When in the upper room,

Upon the watching, waiting ones,

The Holy Spirit had come,

Remaineth evermore the same,

Unchanging still, O praise His name.

“Ye shall have power,” said Jesus,

“when the Holy Spirit’s come,”

Your loosened tongues shall speak His praise,

Your lips no more be dumb;

The timid, shrinking ones be brave,

To reach a hand the host to save.

The wav’ring shall steadfast become,

The weak of faith be strong,

With holy boldness going forth,

Denouncing sin and wrong;

With burning zeal each heart aflame,

A whole salvation to proclaim.

Breathe on us now the Holy Spirit,

The young and old inspire;

Let each receive His Pentecost,

Set hearts and tongues afire!

Thou wonderful transforming power,

Come now in this accepted hour.

REFRAIN

The power, the power, the Pentecostal power,

Is just the same today, is just the same today;

The power, the power, the Pentecostal power,

Is just the same today.
