Praise waiteth Thee in mercy’s court

lyricist: Mary E. Maxwell
Composer: Ada Rose Gibbs

Praise waiteth Thee in mercy’s court

Where Thy beloved dwell;

Ransomed

released from Satan’s thrall

Their Hallelujahs swell.

Come

as the Spirit

Lord

today

Our songs of praise inspire;

Purge the iniquity

and touch

Our lips with living fire.

Praise for what Thou our God hast wrought;

For promised blessings ours;

The cloud on faith’s horizon seen

The pentecostal showers.

Praise for Thine own right way

dear Lord

We did not understand

But as Thy plans unfolded lie

We see Thy guiding hand.

Enlarge our soul’s capacity

Cut deeper channels

Lord;

Room for the floods of blessing now

According to Thy Word.

E’en while we praise

the heavens rend

In power come from on high;

Make this another Pentecost

Answer our spirit’s cry.
