Pentecost Proclamation

Tune: Richmond

('Fill thou my life, O Lord my God')

Acts 2 v.16-21

************

Peter did explain Joel's words

A prophet he of old

Said, it shall come to pass in last

Days, former days now past

 

That I will pour out my spirit

On all flesh, lives be lit

Your sons and daughters prophesy

Young men {and women} see visions nigh

 

And your old men {and women} they shall dream dreams

Revealed by my light's beams

On my servants and my handmaids

My Spirit too displayed

 

For they shall prophesy, and I

Will show in earth and sky

Wonders in heaven, signs below

To Earth blood, fire, smoke shown

 

The sun shall be turned to darkness

The moon to blood no less

Before that great and notable

Day of the Lord to all

 

And it shall come to pass, that who

Shall call on the name true

Of the Lord shall be saved and they

Safe be in judgement day

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. Part of Peter's 'sermon' at Pentecost, though in the church year we're just coming up to Epiphany now.
