1 Let songs of praises fill the sky:

According to His word:
All hail the day of Pentecost,
The coming of the Holy Ghost!
Christ, our ascended Lord,
Sends down His Spirit from on high,
According to His word:
All hail the day of Pentecost,
The coming of the Holy Ghost!
2 The Spirit by His heavenly breath
Creates new life within;
He quickens sinners from the death
Of trespasses and sin:
All hail the day of Pentecost,
The coming of the Holy Ghost!
Creates new life within;
He quickens sinners from the death
Of trespasses and sin:
All hail the day of Pentecost,
The coming of the Holy Ghost!
3 The things of Christ the Spirit takes,
And shows them unto men;
The fallen soul His temple makes;
God’s image stamps again:
All hail the day of Pentecost,
The coming of the Holy Ghost!
And shows them unto men;
The fallen soul His temple makes;
God’s image stamps again:
All hail the day of Pentecost,
The coming of the Holy Ghost!
