HYMN 164

O.t. H.C 264 D8s. 7s (FE 183)



1.  WE come nigh, our heav'nly Father 

     We Thy children weak and faint 

     Fill us with Thy Holy Spirit

     Grant that we be all renewed 

     Come, Thou Holy Spirit do, come 

     Speak through us in a new tongue! 

     For Thy great gift we are pleading 

     Thy great gift of Pentecost.


2.  Lord, remember Thou Thy promise 

     Pour Thy Spirit on all flesh

     Give us of thy peace, we pray Thee 

     Peace, the world cannot afford 

     Come Thou Holy Spirit, do come 

     Sin destroy Thou in our hearts

     For Thy great gift we are pleading 

     Thy great gift of Pentecost.


3.  Heav'nly Dove, descend upon us 

     Fill us with Thy power divine, 

     That the nations all may worship 

     To our Saviour yielded be

     Let us hear of Thy great power through 

     This dark continent of ours 

     For Thy great gift we are pleading

     Thy great gift of Pentecost.  Amen
