149 "Suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind.”

If WHEN God of old came down from

heaven,

In power and wrath He came ;
Before His feet the clouds were riven,
Half darkness and half flame.

2 But when He came the second time,
He came in power and love;
Softer than gale at morning prime
Hovered His holy Dove.

3 f The fires, that rushed on Sinai down
In sudden torrents dread,
Now gently light, (cres) a glorious
On every sainted head.
[crown,

4 ƒ And as on Isracl's awe-struck ear
The voice exceeding loud,

ff The trump, that angels quake to hear
Thrilled from the deep, dark cloud;
5mf So, when the Spirit of our God
Came down His flock to find,
cres A voice from heaven was heard abroad,
A rushing, mighty wind.

6 f It fills the Church of God; it fills
The sinful world around;
Only in stubborn hearts and wills
No place for it is found.

7mf Come, Lord! come, Wisdom, Love,
and Power!

Open our ears to hear;

cres Let us not miss the accepted hour; f Save, Lord, by love or fear. Amen.

"As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of
Man be lifted up."

Imf AS, when the Hebrew prophet raised
The brazen serpent high,

The wounded looked and straight
were cured,

The people ceased to die,

2mfSo from the Saviour on the cross

A healing virtue flows;

Who looks to Him with lively faith

Is saved from endless woes.

3 f For God gave up His Son to death, So generous was His love,

REQUIEM.

Key Ab.

That all the faithful might enjoy

Eternal life above.

4mf Not to condemn the sons of men
The Son of God appeared;
No weapons in His hand are seen,
Nor voice of terror heard:

5mfHe came to raise our fallen state,
And our lost hopes restore;
cres Faith leads us to the mercy-seat,
f And bids us fear no more.

"Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you

rest."

NOTE. It is suggested that the first two lines of each verse should be sung by Tenors and Basses only; but, if necessary, they may be sung in Octaves by all the Voices.
