Lyics

Let songs of praises fill the sky!

Christ, our ascended Lord,

Send down his Spirit from on high,

According to his word:

All hail the day of Pentecost,

The coming of the Holy Ghost!



The Spirit, by his heav'nly breath,

New life creates within;

He quickens sinners from the death

Of trespasses and sin:

All hail the day of Pentecost,

The coming of the Holy Ghost!



The things of Christ the Spirit takes,

And shows them unto men;

The fallen soul his temple makes;

God's image stamps again:

All hail the day of Pentecost,

The coming of the Holy Ghost!



The Holy Spirit from above

The twelve apostles crown'd,

And gave them signs, and light, and love,

To conquer all around.

The gospel spread from Pentecost

When Jesus gave the Holy Ghost.
