Hymn for the Day of Pentecost

"Pentecost" - All Saints Church in Penarth, Wales

 

Lord, we believe to us and ours

Thy precious promises were given;

We wait the pentecostal powers,

The Holy Ghost sent down from Heaven.

Assembled here with one accord,

Calmly we wait the promised grace,

The purchase of our dying Lord;

Come, Holy Ghost, and fill the place.

If every one that asks may find,

If still thou dost on sinners fall,

Come as a mighty rushing wind;

Great grace be now upon us all.

Behold, to thee our souls aspire,

And languish thy descent to meet;

Kindle in each the living fire,

And fix in every heart thy seat.

~ Charles Wesley
