POWER FROM ON HIGH
1. Gracious
heav'nly Father,
Hear Thy people's
cry;
See us how we
languish,
Help us ere we die.
Send us by Thy
Spirit
Power from on high.
Refrain
Power, power,
Power from on high.
Send us by Thy
Spirit
Power from on high.
2. Promise of the
Father,
Spirit, ever nigh,
Wherefore should we
languish,
Wherefore should we
die?
Thou hast come to
bring us
Power from on high.
3. O how long we
struggle,
O how hard we try;
Helplessly we
labor,
Helplessly we sigh,
Till Thy Spirit
gives us
Power from on high.
4 As the winds of
heaven
O'er the ocean fly,
As the flaming
light'nings
Flashing o'er the
sky,
Send us, mighty
Father,
Power from on high.
5. As the heav'nly
sunshine
Bringing summer
nigh,
As the showers that
water
Deserts parched and
dry,
Quick'ning Spirit
bring us
Power from on high.
6. Father at Thy
footstool,
Low Thy people lie,
Waiting for Thy
promise;
Hear our helpless
cry;
Send us, Father,
send us
Power from on high.
