Pentecost Power

"Thy people shall be willing in the day of Thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning" (Psalm 110:3). "Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you..... When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind.... And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost" (Acts 1:8, 2:1-4).

O people of God, now indwelt by His Spirit:
This is the day of God's power!
His coming approaches, yet as we draw near it,
There's grace now to live in this hour!

O people of God, shall not we be willing
In the beauties of holiness given,
The womb of new birth, and His Spirit's filling,
To thus by His power be driven?

O people of God, we know it so well
That His Pentecost day has arrived:
The Spirit of God has been sent to indwell
All His people who thus are revived.

Lord Jesus, we know that You're coming again,
With power to reign on this earth.
Yet surely we ought not to wait until then,
To live by the grace of new birth!
