They were gathered

• • 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 heaven 
  • descended 
  • like a rushing wind and tongues of fire: 
  • so dear Lord, we seek Thy blessing, 
  • come with glory now our hearts inspire. 
  • 
    
  • 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. 
  • 
    
  • 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 planned; 
  • for this blessed revelation, 
  • for Thy written word we dare to stand. 
  • 
    
  • 'This 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. 
  • 
    
  • 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 ecstasy, 
  • come in all Thy glorious fullness, 
  • blessed Holy Spirit, have Thy way
