Melodies of Praise Lyrics
Hymn No.265

First Line: Old time power,

1
They were in an upper chamber,
They were all with one accord,
When the Holy Ghost descended
As was promised by the Lord.

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 every one.

2
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. [Refrain]

3
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]
