Pentecost Promise

Tune: Down Ampney

(\'Come down, O love divine\')

Acts 2 v.14-21

*********

Pentecost, it fifty

Days after Easter be

God\'s promise of the Spirit sent, fulfilled, see

Person of God abides

In human hearts resides

It all His working and there none else besides

 

Peter did there explain

To early church, no feign

That it all happened as the Lord did ordain

It prophesied of old

By former prophets told

Empowering to share the gospel, true, bold

 

Joel in his prophecy

Old Testament days, see

That it would come ot pass in last days, so be

The Lord God said He will

His promise sure fulfil

Pour out His Spirit on all, for our fine weal* (*well-being)

 

There shall be prophecy

Visions and dreams too, see

On His servants and handmaids He will pour free

Prophecy, God\'s message

Spoken through every age

It traced faithfully through history\'s each page

 

He too wonders will show

And signs too we shall know

Blood, fire, and smoke in heaven, and earth below

Sun\'s sphere dark, moon red ball

Day of [the] Lord comes to all

They shall be saved who on the Lord\'s name do call
