When God The Spirit Came

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6 Appears in 7 hymnals 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.

The gate of life stands wide

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: The gate of life stands wide, For Christ hath entered in; Now fearless mount the upward path, Nor dread the power of sin; For sin and death are slain By Him Who rose again. 'Twas on the Cross He died, And death a victory won; Short-lived as night that flies before The rising of the sun; For death by Christ was slain, Who died to live again. The might of sin prevailed,-- Its cruel hate and scorn; It drove the cruel spear and nails, And crowned the Christ with thorn; The spear was broke in twain, By Christ Who rose again. 41 Up, mortals! life is yours, The prize is yours to win; For Christ hath vanquished by His might The power of death and sin; For sin and death were slain, By Christ Who rose again. To Thee, O Christ, be praise, Whose power decayeth never; To Father, and to Holy Ghost, Be laud and glory ever; For death by Christ was slain, Who died to live again.

See Where the Orb of Day

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: See where the orb of day In glory sinks to rest, The clouds of gold and purple crown The mountains of the west; And eve in silence brings The night on dusky wings. It is the hour of peace, And hearts to heaven ascend,-- Come with your burdens and your care, To an unchanging Friend; And let the passing day, Bear all your fears away. It is the hour of prayer; Let every fault be known; Unveil the secrets of the soul, And every sin disown; The blood for sinners spilt, Shall bear away your guilt. It is the hour of praise, Let joy the stillness break; And every grateful thought of God To living song awake; And saints in heaven shall bear To God your fervent prayer. The night in silence falls,-- O God to Thee be praise! And to the Spirit and the Son, Throughout the endless days;-- Eternal Three in One, While endless ages run.

O wounded hands and feet!

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: I O wounded hands and feet! O heart, with spear thrust torn! O brow, with blood drops falling down, Beneath the stinging thorn! O Jesus, Lord divine, Why was such anguish Thine? II The angels were amazed, The sun refused his light, And they who knew that Christ was God, Turned from the woeful sight;— O Jesus, Lord divine, Why was such anguish Thine? III My soul, can’st thou not tell? Why such a sacrifice? Hast thou no needs, for which alone The cross can find supplies? O Jesus, Lord divine, Why was such anguish Thine? IV For thee the cross was reared; For thee the Christ was slain; For thee He sojourned with the dead, And rose to life again;— O Jesus, Lord divine, Thus was the anguish Thine.

Lord of a countless throng

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: I Lord of a countless throng, Fair as the stars of night, Won from the thrall of cruel wrong Back to the good and right; Thine is the praise they sing, Lord of their souls, and King. II Thine was the love that sought Far as their wanderings led; Thine was the wondrous grace that brought Life to the faint and dead; Pardon for all the past, Peace that shall endless last. III Lord of a countless throng Sworn to be faithful aye, When, in the power that makes them strong, They stand in evil day; Make us by grace, we pray, Loyal and brave as they.
