Send the Power Again

There was pow­er

O Lord

In the days of old

To kin­dle a fire in hearts grown cold;

That we on Thy word may now lay hold

Lord

send that pow­er again.

Lord

send the pow­er again

O send the pow­er again!

We be­lieve on Thy name

And Thy pro­mise we claim

Lord

send the pow­er again.

There was pow­er by which

Every tongue could speak

New life giv­ing power un­to the weak;

That sent them the wan­der­ing ones to seek—

Lord

send that pow­er again.

There was pow­er to set

Every cap­tive free

And give to Thy serv­ants li­ber­ty

To speak and to pray and work for Thee—

Lord

send that pow­er again.

There was pow­er

O Lord

In the old time pray­er

It thrilled ev­ery heart and lin­gered there

Till we in Thy glo­ry seemed to share—

Lord

send that pow­er again.
