EN 4567 Above the Starry Spheres
Acts.2.2
Versi Version 1
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.
