Hymn 47

The Holy Spirit came at Pentecost

1

The Holy Spirit came at Pentecost

He came in mighty fullness there

His witness through believers won and lost

And multitudes were born again

The early Christians scattered O'er the world

They preached the gospel fearlessly

Though some were martyred and to lions hurled

They marched along in victory

CHORUS

Come Holy Spirit, dark is the hour

We need your filling, Your love and your mighty power.

Move now among us, stir us, we pray

Come Holy Spirit, Revive the church today.

2

Then in an age when darkness gripped the earth

The just shall live bt faith was learned

The Holy Spirit gave the church new birth

As reformation fires burned

In later years the revivals came

When saints would seek the Lord and pray

O once again we need that Holy flame

To meet the challenge of today.
