Let Us Tarry for the Power

Verse 1

Let us tarry for the pow’r as Christ commanded Ere the opening heavens received Him out of sight; Let us wait upon the Lord, trusting in His precious word, Until He endue us with the Spirit’s might.

Chorus

Let us tarry, let us tarry for the pow’r, For the old-time pow’r of Pentecost; Let us tarry, humbly tarry, Till He fill us with the Holy Ghost.

Verse 2

We are powerless and weak without the presence of the blessed Holy Ghost our hearts within; Breathe upon us now from heav’n, promise of the Savior giv’n; Make us strong to go the lost of earth to win.

Verse 3

Now the glorious scene of old once more repeating, While with one accord we tarry in this place; Lord, we cannot let Thee go till a blessing Thou bestow, Wholly sanctify and save us by Thy grace.
