A mighty sound from heaven
Author: George Boorne Timms, 1910-1997 Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A mighty sound from heaven
at Pentecost there came,
and filled the place of meeting
with rushing wind and flame;
what Christ had promised now occurred
as each Apostle spoke the word
beneath the Spirit's thunder,
and to the ears of all who heard
proclaimed salvation's wonder.
2 In Salem's street was gathered
a crowd from many a land,
and all in their own tongues did
the Gospel understand,
for by the triumph of the Son
the curse of Babel was undone
when God did send the Spirit;
so to the blessèd Three in One
be honour, praise, and merit.
3 Then come, all Christian people,
keep festival today,
for God the Holy Spirit
dwells with the Church alway:
and grieve him not, O Christian soul,
his grace within shall make you whole
in body, mind, and spirit,
until you reach the promised goal,
a kingdom to inherit. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Pentecost Used With Tune: SONG OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
