2. But as their hymns of praise Gladly are given,

A rushing mighty wind

Is heard from heaven.
It filleth all the house

Where they are met,
And cloven tongues of fire
On each are set.

3. Now is fulfilled the word
Which Joel told,

Now doth the HOLY GHOST
His gifts unfold.

But lo! the hardened Jews,
Though they perceive

What wondrous things are done,
Will not believe;

4. E'en though in his own tongue
Each one may hear
That 'tis the hand of GOD
Working thus near.

Till by Saint Peter's words,
Zealous and bold,

Their hearts at length were loosed
From sin's dark hold.

5. Thus through the HOLY GHOST Thousands believed,

And into GOD'S own Church
Were then received.
Then went that noble band

And preached the word

Into all lands, and died
For their dear LORD.
