1. Hail this joyful day's return,
hail the Pentecostal morn,
morn when our ascended Lord
on his Church his Spirit poured!
Alleluia!

2 Like to cloven tongues of flame
on the twelve the Spirit came—
tongues, that earth may hear their call,
fire, that love may burn in all.
Alleluia!

3 Lord, to you your people bend;
unto us your Spirit send;
blessings of this sacred day
grant us, dearest Lord, we pray.
Alleluia!

4 You who did our forebears guide,
with their children still abide;
grant us pardon, grant us peace,
till our earthly wanderings cease.
Alleluia!
