LET THE FIRE FALL

1.

They were gathered in an upper chamber 

As commanded by the Risen Lord,

And the promise of the Father

There they sought with one accord

When the Holy Ghost from heav'n descended 

Like a rushing wind and tongues of fire

So dear Lord, we seek Thy blessing

Come with glory now our hearts inspire. 

Chorus:

Let the fire fall, let the fire fall,

 Let the fire from heaven fall,
We are waiting and expecting, 

Now in faith, dear Lord we call;
Let the fire fall, let the fire fall, 

On thy promise we depend;
From the glory of thy presence, 

Let the Pentecostal fire descend.

2

As Elijah we would raise the altar 

For our testimony clear and true
Christ the Saviour, loving Healer,
Coming Lord Baptizer too
Ever flowing grace and full salvation
For a ruined race Thy love has plann’d
For this blessed revelation
For Thy written Word we dare to stand 

3

'Tis the covenanted promise given 

to as many as the Lord shall call,
to the fathers and their children,
to Thy people, one and all;
so rejoicing in Thy word unfailing,
we draw nigh in faith Thy power to
know -
come, O come, Thou burning Spirit,
set our hearts with heavenly fire aglow.

4
With a living coal from off Thy altar,
Touch our lips to swell Thy wondrous praise
To extol Thee; bless, adore Thee
And our songs of worship raise;
Let the cloud of glory now descending
Fill our hearts with holy ecstacy,
Come in all Thy glorious fullness
Blessed Holy Spirit have Thy way.
