Tarry For The Spirit Lyrics

Tarry For The Spirit - The Scottish Festival Singers

...

Tarry for the spirit

He shall come in wonders

Energizing Wholly

all your ransomed powers

signs shall follow service

in the holy ghost

Then the church of Jesus

Prove a mighty host.

On, then, Church of Jesus,

Claim your pentecost;

God shall now baptise thee

In the Holy Ghost.

Rivers is thy promise,

This shall be our plea

Less than this can never

Meet our cry for thee;

Tired of lukewarm service,

And the loss it brings

We would live entirely

For eternal things.

When the Spirit cometh

Loosened lips shall tell,

Of the wondrous blessing

Which upon them fell;

Life of Jesus springing

Like a well within

Hearts with loud hosannas

Constantly shall ring.

When with joy we follow

In Christ's triumph train,

And our lives are flooded

With the latter rain;

Then the world around us

Shall the impact feel,

Of a church with vision,

Fired with holy zeal.

Then the Lord of glory

Shall be magnified,

He who trod the winepress,

Fully satisfied;

Walking in the Spirit,

Condemnation o'er,

Blessed life of worship,

Now and evermore.
