Call to Worship (Book of Worship #406)—Pastor Charles (Leader) and Tim C. (People)

Leader: And in the last days it shall come to pass, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh.... People: And your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old shall dream dreams, and your young will see visions. Leader: When the Day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.   People: And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. Leader: And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each of them. People: And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.

Hymn for Pentecost (Charles Wesley)—Tim C.

Jesus, we on the Word depend, Spoken by Thee while present here, “The Father in my name shall send The Holy Ghost, the Comforter.” That promise made to Adam’s race, Now, Lord, in us, even us; And give the Spirit of Thy grace, To Teach us all Thy perfect will. That heavenly teacher of mankind, that guide infallible impart, To bring Thy sayings to our mind, And write them on our faithful heart. He only can the words apply through which We endless life possess and Deal to Each his legacy, His Lord’s unutterable peace. That peace of God, that peace of Thine, O might He now to us bring in, And fill our souls with power Divine, And make an end of fear and sin; The length and breadth of love reveal, The height and depth of deity; And all the Sons Of Glory seal, And change, and make us all like Thee!
