God came to us at
Pentecost
God came to us
then at Pentecost,
the Spirit new life revealing,
that we might no more in death be lost,
its pow'r over us dispelling.
This flame will the mark of sin efface
and bring to us all true healing.
Text:
Verse 4 of Scandinavian folk hymn;
tr. Gerald Thorson, 1921-2001, alt.
