O Lord, we seek the power we need

O Lord

we seek the power we need;

We are so weak in word and in deed

And in Thy service cannot proceed

Clothe us with pow’r we pray!

We are waiting

and to Thee we bow

In Thy presence all our need avow;

Give us Thy power

give even now

Clothe us with pow’r today.

Lord

come and visit us at this place

Grant to Thy Church the gifts of Thy grace

Fully with might our service embrace

Clothe us with pow’r we pray!

Send us Thy power with its full sway

As Thou didst send on Pentecost day;

Answer our prayer and make no delay

Clothe us with pow’r we pray!

Here

as Thy Body

Thy pow’r we claim;

Claiming by faith in Thy mighty Name

Thy heav’nly show’r with Thy heav’nly flame;

Clothe us with pow’r we pray!
