Song

• English

  1. Above the starry spheres,

  To where He was before,

  Christ had gone up, the Father’s gift

  Upon the Church to pour.

  
  

  2. At length had fully come,

  On mystic circle borne

  Of seven times seven revolving days,

  The Pentecostal morn.

  
  

  3. When, as the Apostles knelt

  At the third hour in prayer,

  A sudden rushing sound proclaimed

  That God Himself was there.

  
  

  4. Forthwith a tongue of fire

  Is seen on every brow,

  Each heart receives the Father’s light,

  The Word’s enkindling glow.

  
  

  5. The Holy Ghost on all

  Is mightily outpoured,

  Who straight in divers tongues declare

  The wonders of the Lord.

  
  

  6. While strangers of all climes

  Flock round from far and near,

  And their own tongue, wherever born,

  All with amazement hear.

  
  

  7. But Judah, faithless still,

  Denies the hand divine;

  And, mocking, jeers the saints of Christ

  As full of new made wine.

  
  

  8. Till Peter, in the midst,

  By Joel’s ancient word,

  Rebukes their unbelief, and wins

  Three thousand to the Lord.

  
  

  9. The Father and the Son

  And Spirit we adore,

  O may the Spirit’s gifts be poured

  On us forevermore.
