Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A Pentecost hymn by James Montgomery (1819) invoking the Holy Spirit to descend with power as on the day of Pentecost, inspiring hearts and tongues for prayer, praise, and love.
Verse 1
Lord God, the Holy Ghost,
In this accepted hour,
As on the day of Pentecost,
Descend in all Thy power.
Verse 2
Like mighty rushing wind
Upon the waves beneath,
Move with one impulse every mind;
One soul, one feeling breathe.
Verse 3
The young, the old inspire
With wisdom from above;
And give us hearts and tongues of fire,
To pray, and praise, and love.
Verse 4
Spirit of light, explore
And chase our gloom away,
With luster shining more and more
Unto the perfect day.
Verse 5
Spirit of truth, be Thou
In life and death, our guide;
O Spirit of adoption, now
May we be sanctified!
