EN 4582 Rejoice! The Year upon Its Way
Acts.2.4
Versi Version 1
1
Rejoice! the year upon its way
Has brought again that blessed day,
When on the chosen of the Lord
The Holy Spirit was outpoured.
2
On each the fire, descending, stood
In quivering tongues’ similitude—
Tongues, that their words might ready prove,
And fire, to make them flame with love.
3
To all in every tongue they spoke;
Amazement in the crowd awoke,
Who mocked, as overcome with wine,
Those who were filled with power divine.
4
These things were done in type that day,
When Eastertide had passed away,
The number told which once set free
The captive at the jubilee.
5
And now, O holy God, this day
Regard us as we humbly pray,
And send us, from Thy heavenly seat,
The blessings of the Paraclete.
6
To God the Father, God, the Son,
And God the Spirit, praise be done;
May Christ the Lord upon us pour
The Spirit’s gift forevermore.
