O Spirit of the living God

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal #475 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Whitsunday; Sunday Schools Whitsunday Lyrics: O Spirit of the living God, In all thy plenitude of grace, Where'er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race. Give tongues of fire and hearts of love, To preach the reconciling word; Give power and unction from above Whene'er the joyful sound is heard. Be darkness, at thy coming, light; Confusion, order, in thy path; Souls without strength inspire with might, Bid mercy triumph over wrath. Convert the nations! far and nigh The triumphs of the cross record; The Name of Jesus glorify Till every people call him Lord. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE

Bless'd God, that once in fiery tongues

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H81.II (1789) Topics: Whitsunday Lyrics: 4 Bless'd God, that once in fiery tongues Cam'st down in open view, Come, visit ev'ry heart that longs To entertain thee too. 5 And tho' not like a mighty wind, Nor with a rushing noise; May we thy calmer comforts find, And hear thy still small voice. 6 Not for the gift of tongues we pray; Nor pow'r the sick to heal; Give wisdom to direct our way; And strength to do thy will. 7 We pray to be renew'd within, And reconcil'd to God; To have our conscience wash'd from sin In the Redeemer's blood. 8 We pray to have our faith increas'd; And, O celestial dove! We pray to be completely blest With that rich blessing, love. Languages: English

When the blest day of Pentecost

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H81 (1789) Topics: Whitsunday Lyrics: 1 When the blest day of Pentecost Was fully come, the Holy Ghost Descended from above; Sent by the Father and the son, (The sender and the sent are one) The Lord of life and love. 2 But were these first disciples blest With heav'nly gifts? And shall the rest Be pass'd unheeded by? What? Has the Holy Ghost forgot To quicken souls that Christ has bought; And let's them lifeless lie? 3 No, thou almighty Paraclete!

Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies. 4 No more, O Father, may we live, At such a dying rate!
