As we gather here in Thy presence, Lord, On consecrated, holy ground, That we all may bear witness now for Thee, O Father, send the power down.
Refrain: Oh, send the power down, From heaven send it down, In our hearts today send it down; Give never failing grace, Each task to bravely face, O Father, send the power down.
Purify each heart with refining fire, Let perfect love in us abound, With all dross removed and each vain desire; O Father, send the power down.
By Thy pow’r divine touch the hearts of men, Oh, may they hear the joyful sound, And be cleansed from sin by Thy blood divine; O Father, send the power down.
