Acts 1:26

• [Act 1:26] Bishop Of The Souls Of Men

  Bishop of the souls of men, When the foeman’s step is nigh, When the wolf lays wait by night For the lambs continually, Watch, O Lord, about us keep, Guard us, Shepherd of the sheep. When the hireling flees away, Caring only for his gold, And the gate unguarded stands At the entrance to the fold, Stand, O Lord, Thy flock before Thou the Guardian, Thou the Door. Lord, whose guiding finger ruled In the casting of the lot, That Thy Church might fill the throne Of the lost Iscariot, In our trouble ever thus Stand, good Master, nigh to us. When the saints their order take In the New Jerusalem, And Matthias stands elect, Give us part and lot with him, Where in Thine own dwelling place We may witness face to face.

• [Act 1:26] Praise To The Heavenly Wisdom

  Praise to the Heavenly Wisdom Who knows the hearts of all— The saintly life’s beginnings, The traitor’s secret fall; Our own ascended Master, Who heard His Church’s cry, Made known His guiding presence, And ruled her from on high. Elect in His foreknowledge, To fill the lost one’s place; He formed His chosen vessel By hidden gifts of grace; Then, by the lot’s disposing, He lifted up the poor, And set him with the princes On high for evermore. For on the golden breastplate Of our great Priest above, Twelve are the stones that glisten And throbs that Heart of Love; And twelve the fair foundations Of Salem’s jasper wall; And twelve the thrones predestined Within her judgment hall. No mystic gem is lacking In that divine array; No empty throne shall darken The glory of that day; For lo! on twelve the Spirit, The Father’s Promise, came; And twelve went forth together To preach the saving Name. Still guide Thy Church, Chief Shepherd, Her losses still renew; Be Thy dread keys entrusted To faithful hands and true; Apostles of Thy choosing May all her rulers be, That each with joy may render His last account to Thee!

Acts 2:2

• [Act 2:2] Above The Starry Spheres

  Above the starry spheres, To where He was before, Christ had gone up, the Father’s gift Upon the Church to pour. At length had fully come, On mystic circle borne Of seven times seven revolving days, The Pentecostal morn. When, as the Apostles knelt At the third hour in prayer, A sudden rushing sound proclaimed That God Himself was there. Forthwith a tongue of fire Is seen on every brow, Each heart receives the Father’s light, The Word’s enkindling glow. The Holy Ghost on all Is mightily outpoured, Who straight in divers tongues declare The wonders of the Lord. While strangers of all climes Flock round from far and near, And their own tongue, wherever born, All with amazement hear. But Judah, faithless still, Denies the hand divine; And, mocking, jeers the saints of Christ As full of new made wine. Till Peter, in the midst, By Joel’s ancient word, Rebukes their unbelief, and wins Three thousand to the Lord. The Father and the Son And Spirit we adore, O may the Spirit’s gifts be poured On us forevermore.

• [Act 2:2] Come Down, O Love Divine

  Come down, O love divine, seek Thou this soul of mine, And visit it with Thine own ardor glowing. O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear, And kindle it, Thy holy flame bestowing. O let it freely burn, til earthly passions turn To dust and ashes in its heat consuming; And let Thy glorious light shine ever on my sight, And clothe me round, the while my path illuming. Let holy charity mine outward vesture be, And lowliness become mine inner clothing; True lowliness of heart, which takes the humbler part, And o’er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing. And so the yearning strong, with which the soul will long, Shall far outpass the power of human telling; For none can guess its grace, till he become the place Wherein the Holy Spirit makes His dwelling.

• [Act 2:2] I’m Glad I’m One Of Them

  There are people almost everywhere Whose hearts are all aflame With the fire that fell at Pentecost, Which made them all acclaim; It is burning now within my heart— All glory to His Name!— And I’m glad that I can say I’m one of them. Refrain One of them (one of them), one of them (one of them), I am glad that I can say I’m one of them; One of them (one of them), one of them (one of them), I am glad that I can say I’m one of them. Though the people may not learnèd be, Nor boast of worldly fame, They have all received their Pentecost, Through faith in Jesus’ Name; And are telling now, both far and wide, His power is yet the same, And I’m glad that I can say I’m one of them. Refrain They were gathered in the upper room, All praying in His Name, They were baptized in the Holy Ghost, And power for service came; Now what He did for them that day He’ll do for you the same, And I’m glad that I can say I’m one of them. Refrain Come, my brother seek this blessing That will cleanse your heart from sin, That will start the joy bells ringing And will keep the soul aflame; It is burning now within my heart— All glory to His Name!— And I’m glad that I can say I’m one of them.

  O heavenly Fount of light and love, Adoring praise to Thee we pay; Pour down, blest Spirit, from above Fresh streams of grace this day.

• [Act 2:2] When God Of Old Came Down From Heav’n

  When God of old came down from Heav’n, In power and wrath He came; Before His feet the clouds were riven, Half darkness and half flame: But when He came the second time, He came in power and love; Softer than gale at morning prime Hovered His holy Dove. The fires, that rushed on Sinai down In sudden torrents dread, Now gently light, a glorious crown, On every sainted head. And as on Israel’s awestruck ear The voice exceeding loud, The trump that angels quake to hear, Thrilled from the deep, dark cloud; So, when the Spirit of our God Came down His flock to find, A voice from Heav’n was heard abroad, A rushing, mighty wind. It fills the Church of God; it fills The sinful world around; Only in stubborn hearts and wills No place for it is found. Come Lord, come Wisdom, Love and Power, Open our ears to hear; Let us not miss the accepted hour; Save, Lord, by love or fear.
