Tune: Down Ampney
('Come down, O love divine')
Acts 2 v.16-21 parts
********
Pentecost, your Spirit
You promised Lord, lives lit
With your living presence, we here now you sense
He comes to empower
Us daily, each hour
And in human hearts pleased to make residence
This is that prophesied
By Joel (Old Testament), 'tis none beside
Than Scripture's fulfilment, the Spirit you sent
Tongues, dreams, and prophecy
These things now sure shall be
To show God's glory, He works His good intent
And too wonders above
The Spirit, holy dove
And signs beneath, blood, fire, and vapour of smoke
Sun shall be turned to dark
Moon be turned to blood, hark
Before great day of the Lord come, no revoke
It shall come to pass so
That they the Lord shall know
Whosoever calls on His name shall saved be
Trusting your life within
Us, cleanse us her from sin
To go witness, that all the Saviour shall see

- Comment from author about the poem: Pentecost (Whit Sunday) today. A hymn-poem in 6.6.11. 6.6.11. format. I'm not sure what things are 'blood, fire, and vapour of smoke' (verse 3).
