1 O Lord, we seek the power we need;
We are so weak in word and in deed
We are waiting, and to Thee we bow,
In Thy presence all our need avow;
Give us Thy power, give even now,
Clothe us with pow'r today.
2 Lord, come and visit us at this place,
Grant to Thy Church the gifts of Thy grace,
We are waiting, and to Thee we bow,
In Thy presence all our need avow;
Give us Thy power, give even now,
Clothe us with pow'r today.
3 Send us Thy power with its full sway,
As Thou didst send on Pentecost day;
We are waiting, and to Thee we bow,
In Thy presence all our need avow;
Give us Thy power, give even now,
Clothe us with pow'r today.
4 Here, as Thy Body, Thy pow'r we claim;
Claiming by faith in Thy mighty Name,
We are waiting, and to Thee we bow,
In Thy presence all our need avow;
Give us Thy power, give even now,
Clothe us with pow'r today.
