Hymns and songs for Pentecost: Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost Taught By Thee - https://youtu.be/nIBZTJsfih4

Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,
Taught by Thee, we covet most
Of Thy gifts of Pentecost,
Holy, heav’nly Love.

Love is kind, and suffers long,
Love is meek, and thinks no wrong,
Love than death itself more strong;
Therefore, give us love.

Prophecy will fade away,
Melting in the light of day;
Love will ever with us stay;
Therefore, give us love.

Hymns and songs for Pentecost: Come Thou Holy Spirit Come - https://youtu.be/o2_2GqEyVxU?si=94wsCGm350F9xcmB

Come Thou Holy Spirit, come
And from Thy celestial home
Shed a ray of light divine;
Come, Defender of the poor,
Come, Thou source of all our store,
Come, within our bosom shine:

Thou of comforters the best,
Thou the soul’s most welcome guest,
Sweet refreshment here below;
In our labor rest most sweet,
Grateful coolness in the heat
Solace in the midst of woe.

O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of Thine,
And our inmost being fill;
Where Thou art not, we have naught,
Nothing good in deed or thought,
Nothing free from taint of ill.

Hymns and songs for Pentecost: Gracious Spirit, Dwell with Me - https://youtu.be/LeYZEalAZ5g

Gracious Spirit, dwell with me—
I myself would gracious be,
And with words that help and heal
Would Thy life in mine reveal;
And with actions bold and meek
Would for Christ my Savior speak.

Truthful Spirit, dwell with me—
I myself would truthful be;
And with wisdom kind and clear
Let Thy life in mine appear;
And with actions brotherly
Speak my Lord’s sincerity.

Holy Spirit, dwell with me—
I myself would holy be;
Separate from sin, I would
Choose and cherish all things good;
And whatever I can be
Give to Him who gave me Thee!

Hymns and songs for Pentecost: Fall Afresh – Kari Jobe – https://youtu.be/7GIfhdjAKAw?si=KbmPQuK3WQxlx-GE

Let this be a place where You long to come
As we make a way, for Your love
Let these hands be clean and this heart be pure
Blameless as the Bride, You're coming for

It's the power of Your presence that changes us
Your glory all around us and we're undone
You open up the Heavens and fall afresh on us

Let this be a house where You long to stay
Ever will You meet us, face to face
Abandoned here before You we want nothing else
Than just to be with You, and You alone

It's the power of Your presence that changes us
Your glory all around us and we're undone
You open up the Heavens and fall afresh on us

It's the power of Your presence that changes us
Your glory all around us and we're undone
You open up the Heavens and fall afresh on us
Fall afresh on us

Holy Spirit, fill this heart again
Holy Spirit, burn like fire within
Holy Spirit, fill this heart again
Holy Spirit, burn like fire within
Holy Spirit, fill this heart again
Holy Spirit, burn like fire within

It's the power of Your presence that changes us
Your glory all around us and we're undone
You open up the Heavens and fall afresh on us

It's the power of Your presence that changes us
Your glory all around us and we're undone
You open up the Heavens and fall afresh on us

Fall afresh on us
Fall afresh on us
Fall afresh on us

Hymns and songs for Pentecost: Descend from Heav’n, Immortal Dove - https://youtu.be/VNu8l8hkrto

Descend from Heav’n, immortal Dove,
Stoop down and take us on Thy wings,
And mount and bear us far above
The reach of these inferior things:

Beyond, beyond this lower sky,
Up where eternal ages roll;
Where solid pleasures never die,
And fruits immortal feast the soul.

O for a sight, a pleasing sight
Of our Almighty Father’s throne!
There sits our Savior crowned with light,
Clothed in a body like our own.

Adoring saints around Him stand,
And thrones and powers before Him fall;
The God shines gracious through the man,
And sheds sweet glories on them all.

O what amazing joys they feel
While to their golden harps they sing,
And sit on every heav’nly hill,
And spread the triumphs of their King!

When shall the day, dear Lord, appear,
That I shall mount to dwell above,
And stand and bow amongst them there,
And view Thy face, and sing, and love?

Hymns and songs for Pentecost: On the Wings of A Dove – Ferlin Husky - https://youtu.be/lMtL_kqUxN4?si=abgKe_xMWAgaOszy

On the wings of a snow-white dove
He sends His pure sweet love
A sign from above (sign from above)
On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)

When troubles surround us
When evils come
The body grows weak (body grows weak)
The spirit grows numb (spirit grows numb)
When these things beset us
He doesn't forget us
He sends down His love (sends down His love)
On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)

On the wings of a snow-white dove
He sends His pure sweet love
A sign from above (sign from above)
On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)

When Noah had drifted
On the flood many days
He searched for land (he searched for land)
In various ways (various ways)
Troubles, he had some
But wasn't forgotten
He sent him His love (sent him His love)
On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)

On the wings of a snow-white dove
He sends His pure sweet love
A sign from above (sign from above)
On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)
On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)
On the wings of a dove
