Pfingstlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der heilig Geist vom Himmel kam,
mit Brausen das ganz Haus einnahm,
darin die Jünger sassen;
Gott wollt sie nicht verlassen.

O welch ein selig Fest
ist der Pfingsttag gewest!
Got sende noch jetztund
in unser Herz und Mund
sein heil'gen Geist!
Das sei ja, das sei ja, etc.
so singen wir Halleluja!

Der Jünger Zungen feurig warn,
das Wort soll brünstig heraus fahrn,
der Geist saß auf ihn' allen;
ihr Herz für Freud' tät wallen.
O welch ein selig Fest, etc.

Sie predigten in mancher Sprach',
durch Gottes Geist Wunder geschach,
viel Völker das Wort hörten,
und sich zum Herrn bekehrten.
O welch ein selig Fest, etc.
