1. O Lord, we seek the power we need;
  We are so weak in word and in deed
  And in Thy service cannot proceed,
  Clothe us with pow'r we pray!
  
  We are waiting, and to Thee we bow,
  In Thy presence all our need avow;
  Give us Thy power, give even now,
  Clothe us with pow'r today.
  
2. Lord, come and visit us at this place,
  Grant to Thy Church the gifts of Thy grace,
  Fully with might our service embrace,
  Clothe us with pow'r we pray!
  
  We are waiting, and to Thee we bow,
  In Thy presence all our need avow;
  Give us Thy power, give even now,
  Clothe us with pow'r today.
  
3. Send us Thy power with its full sway,
  As Thou didst send on Pentecost day;
  Answer our prayer and make no delay,
  Clothe us with pow'r we pray!
  
  We are waiting, and to Thee we bow,
  In Thy presence all our need avow;
  Give us Thy power, give even now,
  Clothe us with pow'r today.
  
4. Here, as Thy Body, Thy pow'r we claim;
  Claiming by faith in Thy mighty Name,
  Thy heav'nly show'r with Thy heav'nly flame;
  Clothe us with pow'r we pray!
  
  We are waiting, and to Thee we bow,
  In Thy presence all our need avow;
  Give us Thy power, give even now,
  Clothe us with pow'r today.
