What Did They Do?

Representative Text

1 What did they do at Pentecost,
When the Spirit first was giv'n
When fell the blessed Holy Ghost,
Like a rushing wind from heav'n?

Refrain:
They spoke with tongues--and so will you
When He sends the Holy Ghost: (upon you);
His pow'r will fall upon you, too,
As it fell at Pentecost.

2 What did they do at Caesarea
When God's servant spoke the word,
When they were met, with joy to hear
Tidings of the risen Lord? [Refrain]

3 What did they do at Ephesus?
Thru the great apostle Paul,
God gave the sign as at the first--
And He gives the sign to all. [Refrain]

4 What did they do the wide world o'er,
When the Holy Ghost was giv'n,
When they received the promise sure
Of the Spirit sent from heav'n? [Refrain]

5 Even today in copious show'r
Falls the promised latter rain;
They who receive the old-time pow'r
Speak "in other tongues" again. [Refrain]
