Song 74 · RH 235, E.C.W Boulton
1. Tarry for the Spirit
E.C.W Boulton
Tarry for the Spirit He shall come in showers, Energising wholly All your ransomed powers; Signs shall follow service In the Holy Ghost, Then the Church of Jesus Prove a mighty host On, then, Church of Jesus Claim your Pentecost: God shall now baptise thee In the Holy Ghost
Rivers is Thy promise, This shall be our plea Less than this can never Meet our cry for Thee; Tired of lukewarm service, And the loss it brings We would live entirely For eternal things
When the Spirit cometh Loosened lips shall tell, Of the wondrous blessing Which upon them fell; Life of Jesus springing Like a well within Hearts with loud hosannas Constantly shall ring.
When with joy we follow In Christ is triumph train, 26 and our lives are flooded With the Latter Rain; Then the world around us Shall the impact feel, Of a Church with vision Fired with holy zeal.
Then the Lord of glory Shall be magnified, He who trod the winepress, fully satisfied: Walking in the Spirit, Condemnation o’er Blessed Life of worship, Now and evermore.
