Pentecost

Sunday 28 May 2023

Readings:
Numbers 11:4-17 and 24-30
John 7:37-39

O Day of joy and wonder! Christ’s promise now fulfilled!
The coming of his Spirit the Father’s love has willed;
our Lord in human body to mortal eye is lost,
yet he returns for ever at blessèd Pentecost!
 
The world, in sheer amazement, the truth must now declare:
that men, who once were cowards, are brave beyond compare;
and tongues, which could not utter their faith in Jesus’ name,
defy all persecution his glory to proclaim.
 
The sermon– Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful – has been recorded  and can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/Vq1rz0nkqu8

Come, Holy Spirit, create in us holiness,
lift up our lives to thy standard of right;
stir every will to new ventures of faithfulness,
flood the whole church with thy glorious light.
