God's Holy Spirit Came

Author: Michael Denham; Mary Jackson Cathey Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:1-13 Lyrics: 1 God's Holy Spirit came with rushing wind and fire, Christ's presence here to comfort, bless, and to inspire. The Spirit thus began God's holy work on earth at Pentecost, a gift that gave the church its birth. 2 God sent the Spirit forth, fulfilling prophets' word, to those who followed Jesus and who called him Lord. Disciples gathered near the temple courts in prayer. The Spirit blew and rested on those clustered there. 3 God's Spirit filled each one as Jesus had foretold. In many tongues they spoke God's word, renewed and bold. "Repent and be baptized," preached Peter in that hour, and thousands came believing by the Spirit's power. 4 God's church alive today continues to proclaim salvation by the Spirit's power in Jesus' name. Let all believers now their tongues and lives employ. Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost: our highest joy! Topics: Biblical Names and Places Peter; Proclamation/Testimony Used With Tune: LEONI

Like fireworks in the night

Author: Ian Masson Fraser (b. 1917) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:1-13 Lyrics: 1 Like fireworks in the night the Holy Spirit came; disciple's fears took flight when touched by fronds of flame: and suddenly the world was young as hope embraced a Saviour's claim. 2 For Jesus bade them dare to venture, as they should; his love taught them to share their homes, possessions, food: the mind of Jesus gave them speech all tribes and peoples understood. 3 Thus God our spirits lifts fresh daring to inspire; as common folk get gifts to change the world entire: the tongues of flame at Pentecost ran through the world like forest fire.
