(\'The day of resurrection\')
Acts 1 v.1-8 parts
*********
Luke wrote his gospel\'s sequel
The book of Acts, we tell
Gospel of what Jesus began
To do and teach midst man* (*mankind)
Until the day in which He
Taken to heaven be
In His Ascension after
He gave His commands sure
Commands through the Holy Spirit
The apostles way lit
To whom also He showed Himself
Alive, and full of health
After His sufferings shows
By many proofs, each knows
That they were infallible
And unmistakeable
He said, Jerusalem not leave
Until you shall receive
The promise, the Holy Spirit
He shall equip and fit
You to be witnesses to me
By His power. strong, free
Witness even to ends of earth
