Pentecost Pourings

Tune: Down Ampney

('Come down, O love divine')

Acts 2 v.1-4, v.16-21 parts

*********

Come, Holy Spirit, come

And make our hearts your home

There you promised to come, take residency

As old, Pentecost day

The disciples did stay

In one place, waited until He came, so be

 

Suddenly then a sound

From heaven did redound

Of a rushing mighty wind, filled the house there

Where they were gathered all

In prayer did on you call

Now promise of the Spirit they did all share

 

And cloven tongues like fire

People from each town, shire

The flames descended on each of them present

The Holy Spirit filled

All of them, it God-willed

They spoke with other tongues* which He had them sent (*languages)

 

Peter, he did explain

To them, did make it plain

That this be what was spoken by prophet Joel

From days of old foretold

That they would  witness bold

The Spirit poured out on each believing soul

 

Then prophecies, visions

Unto God's daughters, sons

And dreaming dreams, all shown, men, women, children

In heaven above wonders

Blood, fire, smoke, and vapours

Who calls on name of the Lord shall be saved then
