1 We bow our knees unto the Father
Of Christ the Lord of earth and Heaven,
That riches of His grace and glory
And power for service may be given.
Refrain:
We are waiting for the promise of the Father—
For the Holy Spirit’s power;
O our Father, for Thy Spirit we are waiting,
Even now, this very hour.
We are waiting for His coming,
We are waiting for His coming,
For the Holy Spirit’s power;
O our Father, for Thy Spirit we are waiting,
Even now, this very hour.
2 O fill the inward man with power,
As Christ within our hearts doth dwell,
Our root in Him, though storms may lower,
Victorious love we still shall tell. [Refrain]
3 The love that passeth knowledge give us,
Its height and depth and breadth and length;
Abundantly beyond our asking,
Beyond our thought give us Thy strength. [Refrain]
4 Thy power it is that worketh in us,
O multiply it here today,
And Christ, our Lord, shall have the glory
Within His Church through endless day. [Refrain]
