Tarry for the Power

There’s a bless­èd pro­mise giv’n

By the Fa­ther up in Heav’n

Oh

tar­ry in the ci­ty for the pow­er!

’Twas the pro­mised Ho­ly Ghost

Which He gave at Pen­te­cost

Oh

tar­ry in the ci­ty for the pow­er!

Oh

tar­ry for the pow­er

The old

anoint­ing pow­er

Oh

tar­ry for an­oth­er Pen­te­cost!

The Spir­it then will fall

Baptize you one and all

Oh

tarry for the bless­èd Ho­ly Ghost.

This great bless­ing is for you

If to Christ you will be true

But tar­ry in the ci­ty for the pow­er!

Let us hear His great com­mand

Go

dis­ci­ple all the land

But tar­ry in the ci­ty for the pow­er!

He will cleanse your heart from sin

Make you pure like Him with­in

So tar­ry in the ci­ty for the pow­er!

He will ho­li­ness im­plant

And all grace to you will grant

So tar­ry in the ci­ty for the pow­er!

He will com­fort

teach and fill

If to Him you give your will

Yes

tar­ry in the ci­ty for the pow­er!

He’ll an­oint you from above

Fill your heart with per­fect love

Yes

tar­ry in the ci­ty for the pow­er!

Our great Com­fort­er has come

And the church must give Him room

Now tar­ry in the ci­ty for the pow­er!

He’ll bap­tize with sac­red fire

Keep you till you’re called up high­er

Now tar­ry in the ci­ty for the pow­er!
