Tune: Vruechten
('The joyful Eastertide')
Acts 2 v.16-21
*******
Peter at Pentecost
Explains of the Holy Ghost
He said the prophecy
Has been fulfilled, completely
Chorus
Here is the Spirit sure
He will stay now evermore
He shall us empower
To meet needs of each hour
Each hour, each hour
Each ho-o-o-our!
The prophecy of Joel
God by His Spirit makes us whole
Does make, for His promise
Comes to pass, we it not miss - Chorus
This is that which Joel spoke
All believers may partake
For God says, In last days
I shall pour out my Spirit always - Chorus
Upon all flesh He pours
His Spirit, all worships, adores
On sons, daughters, young, old
And too on servants, maidens, behold - Chorus
Prophesyings, visions
Believers equipped for missions
And dreams, revealings known
Interpreted by Him alone - Chorus
And wonders in heaven
And signs in earth to all men (mankind)
Blood, fire, vapour of smoke
Man (mankind) to need of salvation woke - Chorus
Sun to darkness be turned
Moon to blood shall be discerned
Before [the] day of Lord come
Great day all see, not just some - Chorus
And it shall come to pass
That men (and women) of each colour, race, class
Who on the Lord shall call
On His name shall be saved all - Chorus

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem with verses and chorus in 6767 metre. A bit tricky in some verses to get the longer 'extended' notes at the end of some lines. 'Vruechten' is a 17th Century Dutch folk-song tune. Peter explains the phenomenon of the Holy Spirit being given to all believers.

Good write. As its Pentecost today the Church choir has been getting an anthem ready to sing to the congregation, I shall be there warbling away with my bass voice.
Oohh good, let\'s sing up. Will many follow the tradition of Whit Sunday - White Sunday - and wear something white? We don\'t have to, but I hardly ever wear black, to church or anywhere. Well, maybe only black socks.
THANKS STEVE ~ Love the Poem ~ The infilling of the HOLY SPIRIT is so so important in the life of the BELIEVER ~ will catch the hymn later ~ Yours BRIAN Please check BALM in GILEAD ~ Thanks B !
