PENECOST HYMN

Tune: There's New World Coming



Like the sound of heaven with the rushing of the wind

Came the fire a-burning and new life was given to all

The young see visions and the old dream dreams

Born of fire, filled with power, for the world.



To the light from darkness, and to freedom from fear

Building from the ashes into one community

Peter, Paul, and Luther, Augustine and Benedict

Born of fire, filled with power, for the world.



With despair abounding and a lack of hope around

Still the Spirit comes to the ones who birth the day

Giving breath and being to the ones who give their death

Born of fire, filled with power, for the world.



For the coming ages and the journey of mankind

We claim the promise that the fire give life to them

Deciding freely to live on behalf of all
Born of fire, filled with power, for the world.

This song was a powerful one for me, even with its old style gender.  I never did find a replaceable word that fit the meter and the meaning.  Wish I could hear some of our great voices and our not so great voices singing this on this Pentecost Sunday.  I recall how the harmony filled the room with its power.        Sing out wherever you are!     Lynda Cock

Building from the ashes into one community

Peter, Paul, and Luther, Augustine and Benedict

Born of fire, filled with power, for all men.
