William Preston Johnston - Peter after Pentecost lyrics

WHERE late ye fled a flock of fugitives, Scattered like sheep before a ravening beast, Because your Christ was dead, now that He lives And ye have seen Him, all your fears have ceased, Nor Herod, Pilate, Sanhedrim or priest Can awe you any more; for Pentecost Hath signed your brows with flame, and so increased Your zeal for Christ that each man is a host, Eager to meet what other men fear most And what the rest desire esteeming least; So Peter, who denied, again can boast That d**h is welcome as a marriage feast. Transformed by grace, no more his soul shall quail, Nor 'gainst the Rock the gates of Hell prevail.
