Author: John Keble Hymnal: Laudes Domini #237 (1888) First Line: When God, of old, came down from heaven Lyrics: 1 When God, of old, came down from heaven,
In power and wrath he came;
Before his feet the clouds were riven,
Half darkness and half flame.
2 But when he came the second time,
He came in power and love;
Softer than gales at morning prime,
Hovered his holy Dove.
3 The fires that rushed on Sinai down
In sudden torrents dread,
Now gently light a glorious crown
On every sainted head.
4 Like arrows went those lightnings forth,
Winged with the sinner's doom;
But these, like tongues, o'er all the earth
Proclaiming life to come. Topics: The Holy Spirit Scripture: Acts 2:1 Languages: English Tune Title: ROGET
