Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #277 (1997) Lyrics: 1 On this assembled host,
in this accepted hour,
O Spirit, as at Pentecost,
descend in grace and power.
2 We meet with one accord
in our appointed place,
and wait the promise of our Lord,
the Spirit of all grace.
3 Like mighty rushing wind
upon the waves beneath,
move with one impulse every mind;
one soul, one spirit breathe.
4 The young, the old inspire
with wisdom from above,
and give us hearts and tongues of fire
to pray and praise and love.
5 Spirit of light, explore
and chase our gloom away,
your splendour shining more and more
unto God's perfect day. Topics: Church Year Day of Pentecost; Holy Spirit Illuminator / Teacher Scripture: Acts 2:1-21 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MICHAEL
