Tune: Laos Deo
('Bright the vision that delighted')
Acts 4 v.23-31
********
The disciples unto prayer went
With one accord, no relent
Lifted up their voice together
Prayed with holy endeavour
Said, You, Lord are God, you have made
Heaven, earth, sea, all arrayed
Who by your servant David sure
Prophesied of days in store
David said, Why did heathen rage
The Lords work try to assuage?
Why did they vain things imagine?
Oppositions did begin
For the kings of the earth did stand
And rulers of all the land
Stood, gathered there against the Lord
But could not withstand His Word
His Word is the Lord's Christ, Jesus
Bringing salvation to us
Though they gathered, it was truly
To do what you said would be
For nothing escapes your knowing
You ever know everything
Now, Lord, behold those who threaten
Us, grant to us we be men
Men and women, boys and girls too
Grant us boldness, us renew
We your servants ask all boldness
To speak your full words no less
And stretch forth your hand to heal here
Your signs and wonders appear
They done by your child, your Son sure
Who obeyed you evermore
When they had prayed, the place did shake
Where they were, the Lord did make
Them bold in His name, fresh power
Of His Spirit for each hour
So they went forth, re-empowered
The Spirit on them was showered
All were filled and spake with boldness
The word of God, and did bless
