Tune: Judas Maccabaeus

(\'Thine be the glory\')

Acts 2 v.1-4 and v.16-21

**********

Chorus

See, Pentecost comes, now the waiting o\'er

The Spirit, He poured out on us evermore

 

For when the day (of Pentecost) came, they were gathered there

In one accord, purpose of mind they did share

Suddenly from heaven, sound of rushing wind

Mighty, powerful, God\'s promise no rescind - Chorus

 

It filled all the house, where they were seated

With cloven tongues of fire they were there greeted

It sat on each of them, and they all were filled

With the Spirit, spake tongues, human efforts stilled - Chorus

 

For the Spirit gave them gift of tongues true

Peter explained, This is that, even for you

Which the prophet Joel he spoke in days of old

Now revealed, God\'s people, having courage bold - Chorus

 

For Joel did say, In the last days shall be

The LORD says He will pour out His Spirit, see

Upon all flesh, there be prophecies, visions

Dreams too, for young, old, for daughters and for sons - Chorus

 

And on His servants the Spirit outpoured

They shall prophesy, and of Him be assured

Wonders in heaven above, and signs below

Blood, fire, vapour of smoke, they shall see and know - Chorus

 

The sun shall be turned into darkness, so

And the moon into blood, redness it shall show

Before the great and notable day does dawn

Day of the LORD\'s return, the eternal morn - Chorus

 

And it shall come to pass by His word true

That whosoever shall call on Him, e\'en you

Shall be saved, if you on His great name do call

Salvation, the Spirit, Pentecost for all! - Chorus
