261--Praise waiteth Thee in mercy's court,

Praise waiteth Thee in mercy's court,

261

	1.	Praise waiteth Thee in mercy's court,
		Where Thy beloved dwell;
		Ransomed, released from Satan's thrall,
		Their Hallelujahs swell.
		Come, as the Spirit, Lord, today,
		Our songs of praise inspire;
		Purge the iniquity, and touch
		Our lips with living fire.
	2.	Praise for what Thou our God hast wrought;
		For promised blessings ours;
		The cloud on faith's horizon seen,
		The Pentecostal showers.
		Praise for Thine own right way, dear Lord,
		We did not understand,
		But as Thy-plans unfolded lie,
		We see Thy guiding hand.
	3.	Enlarge our soul's capacity,
		Cut deeper channels, Lord;
		Room for the floods of blessing now,
		According to Thy Word.
		E'en while we praise, the heavens rend,
		In power come from on high;
		Make this another Pentecost,
		Answer our spirit's cry.
