A
Pentecost Prayer by James Bennett
Adapted from an invocation at
progressivechristianity.org
Meditating on the story of Pentecost, we
celebrate the wonderful, mysterious gift
of God’s spirit. From deep within
us, and in the world around us, and even
beyond into the cosmos we observe the
amazing work and power of the spirit. By
the power of spirit, faith blossoms
and is nourished. Like
those first
Christians so long ago, we have many
languages for faith, many gifts of the
spirit.
We speak from our hearts, mirroring
God's gift of love.
We speak from our minds, confessing our
doubts and skepticism, searching for
truths by which we can live.
We speak from our faith, be it fragile
or firm; we speak of how it shapes our
lives.
We speak from compassion, reaching to
one another, stretching for
understanding.

OLD-TIME HYMN
The Fire of Pentecost
by Haldor
Lillenas (Public Domain)
1 I never can forget the
moment
When after consecrating all,
And trusting in a full atonement,
I felt the fire of Pentecost fall.
Refrain:
I feel the fire of Pentecost burning just now,
Burning just now, burning just now,
I feel the fire of Pentecost burning just now,
‘Tis burning in my soul.
2 My heart received the fiery cleansing,
My nature was at last renewed;
My soul with joy was over flowing,
With Pentecostal power endued. [Refrain]
3 The inward struggle now is ended,
I’ve won the fight in Jesus name;
And with His free and full salvation,
The Pentecostal blessing I claim. [Refrain]
4 Each justified and true believer
Should be baptized with holy fire,
To burn the roots of sin forever,
And purge away all evil desire. [Refrain]
