Hymn 249 - They Were in an Upper Chamber

They were in an upper chamber,

They were all with one accord,

When the Holy Spirit descended,

As was promised by our Lord.

Yes, the pow’r from heav’n descended,

With the sound of rushing wind;

Tongues of fire came down upon them,

As the Lord said He would send.

Yes, this “old-time” pow’r was given

To our fathers who were true;

This is promised to believers,

And we all may have it, too.

REFRAIN

O Lord, send the pow’r just now,

O Lord, send the pow’r just now,

O Lord, send the pow’r just now,

And baptize ev’ry one.
