Lord, we come to Thee, and with liberty
Fullness of the Spirit - The Baptism
Verse 1
Lord, we come to Thee, and with liberty
Claim we now from Thee pow'r of might;
For Thy kingdom's sake, may we pow'r partake,
Sitting in the heavenlies to fight.

Power! power! clothe us with Thy power!
With Thy mighty power from on high!
Power! power! clothe us with Thy power!
Boldly, as Thy Body, now we cry!
Verse 2
Lord, we look to Thee and with certainty
Claim we now from Thee show'r divine,
For Thy Body's sake, may we show'r partake,
Thus be fitted for the work of Thine.
chorus
Shower! shower! pour on us Thy shower!
Pour Thy heav'nly shower from on high!
Shower! shower! pour on us Thy shower!
Boldly, as Thy Body, now we cry!
Verse 3
Lord, we wait on Thee, and with surety
Claim we now from Thee fire divine.
For Thy gospel's sake, may we fire partake,
That the people's heart Thou may refine.
chorus
Fire! fire! give us tongues of fire!
To proclaim Thy message from on high!
Fire! fire! give us tongues of fire!
Boldly, as Thy Body, now we cry!
