The Head That Once Was Crowned with Thorns

When God the Spirit Came

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2 Lyrics: 1 When God the Spirit came Upon his church outpoured In sound of wind and sign of flame, They spread his truth abroad, And filled with the Spirit, Proclaimed that Christ is Lord. 2 What courage, pow'r and grace That youthful church displayed! To those of ev'ry tribe and race They witnessed unafraid, And filled with the Spirit, They broke their bread and prayed. 3 They saw God's Word prevail, His kingdom still increase, No part of all his purpose fail, No promised blessing cease, And filled with the Spirit, Knew love and joy and peace. 4 Their theme was Christ alone, The Lord who lived and died, Who rose to his eternal throne At God the Father's side, And filled with the Spirit The church was multiplied. 5 So to this present hour Our task is still the same, In pentecostal love and pow'r His gospel to proclaim, And filled with the Spirit, Rejoice in Jesus' Name.

Hymn 52

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 105 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:38 First Line: 'Twas the commission of our Lord Lyrics: 'Twas the commission of our Lord, "Go teach the nations, and baptize:" The nations have received the word Since he ascended to the skies. He sits upon th' eternal hills, With grace and pardon in his hands; And sends his cov'nant with the seals, To bless the distant British lands. "Repent, and be baptized," he saith, For the remission of your sins:" And thus our sense assists our faith, And shows us what his gospel means. Our souls he washes in his blood, As water makes the body clean; And the good Spirit from our God Descends like purifying rain. Thus we engage ourselves to thee, And seal our cov'nant with the Lord; O may the great eternal Three In heav'n our solemn vows record!
