11977. Send The Power Again

1 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.

Refrain:
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.

2 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. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

4 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. [Refrain]
