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

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.6.11. 6.6.11. for Pentecost, today (Sunday). There is a clip of people singing it, but it was rushed and gabbled, and spoilt the hymn. Sing all of it 'moderately slow' as noted in this clip - not gabbling the longer lines. Original very old, dating from around 15th Century.

Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
Do you think they would let me into a church these days Orchidee? LOL Yes i know they would. As a tradesman/craftsman I love our heritage buildings and most churches are of course well preserved and have a well documented history. Whereas i don't go along with the christian tradition any longer i do enjoy several aspects of it all.
The likes of me would sure enough be shocked out of our socks if a godly happening such as you suggest were to be accompanied by actual evidence of a god existence wouldn't we.
Thanks dusk. Erm, I read a version of Scripture. a Chapter honestly started 'Once upon a time....'
Yep, all welcome, none beyond saving! Just don't commit the unforgivable sin by sitting in Mrs Whats-er-name's pew!
Is that the pew where all those years ago little Johnny P Quick carved his and her initials inside a heart with an arrow thru it? Cor! right under her bum every Sunday as she sits there remembering her favourite hymn (him).
I liked this one too
Thanks Neville. You heard of Pentecost? Or 'Whitsun' for those of us about 5 million years old!
Powerful words Orchi.
Thanks Fay. Erm, I didn't miss out the bit on tongues on purpose - though that need not be controversial!
Thanks UNCLE STEVE for an excellent Posting (Hymn & Poem) on the Holy Spirit. You & I and all *Born Again Believers* appreciate that without the *9 fruit of the Holy Spirit* we could not function individually as Christians - And without the *19 Gifts of the Spirit* the Church could not function either ! When talking about *The Day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit* we are on very very Sacred Ground indeed. Thanks for sharing on all our behalves ~ AMEN.
Blessings & Peace & Joy to YOU & Faithful FIDO
Love in the Spirit - Brian & Angela 💛💛💛💛
Thanks A&B. Fido speaks in tongues too - he does just about everything! heehee.
