#1176, #1261

 

 1  Lord, we come to Thee, and with liberty

       Claim we now from Thee pow'r of might;

    For Thy kingdom's sake, may we pow'r partake,

       Sitting in the heavenlies to fight.

 

Power! power! clothe us with Thy power!

With Thy mighty power from on high!

Power! power! clothe us with Thy power!

Boldly, as Thy Body, now we cry!

 

 2  Lord, we look to Thee and with certainty

       Claim we now from Thee show'r divine,

    For Thy Body's sake, may we show'r partake,

       Thus be fitted for the work of Thine.

 

Shower! shower! pour on us Thy shower!

Pour Thy heav'nly shower from on high!

Shower! shower! pour on us Thy shower!

Boldly, as Thy Body, now we cry!

 

 3  Lord, we wait on Thee, and with surety

       Claim we now from Thee fire divine.

    For Thy gospel's sake, may we fire partake,

       That the people's heart Thou may refine.

 

Fire! fire! give us tongues of fire!

To proclaim Thy message from on high!

Fire! fire! give us tongues of fire!

Boldly, as Thy Body, now we cry!
