Author: Miss Eliza E. Hewitt Hymnal: The Sunday School Hymnal #92 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Before our Saviour rose on high,
In clouds ascending to the sky,
He called His friends, the faithful few,
And gave them work for Him to do.
2 He knew their weakness and their needs,
Alone, they never could succeed;
“All power” was His, the world to save,
And so this precious word He gave.
3 He gave them too a strange command,
(So seemed it to the little band,)
To tarry in Jerusalem
Till heavenly power should come to them.
4 With one accord they watched and prayed,
Their trusting hearts on Jesus stayed;
At Pentecost, the Spirit came
With rushing wind and tongues of flame.
5 Then was fulfilled the promise old;
This was the day so long foretold;
“Rejoice, O Zion, in the Lord,
My Spirit then shall be outpoured.”
6 Then were they brave to testify
Of Jesus, risen up on high;
They spoke in different tongues and all
Might hear the blessed Gospel call.
7 O Lord, in Jesus’ name, we pray,
Be this our Pentecostal day,
And may Thy Spirit, like a dove,
Fill every heart with peace and love.
8 Then bravely, gladly, shall we tell
Of Jesus, our Emmanuel;
New tongues shall speak Thy grace Divine,
And all the glory shall be Thine. Topics: Emmanuel; Power; Whitsuntide; Work Tune Title: [Before our Saviour rose on high]

Person Name: G. Froelich Composer of "[Before our Saviour rose on high]" in The Sunday School Hymnal Apparently the husband of hymn-writer Mrs. Marion or Marian Froelich, Prof. Gideon Froelich was organist both of Fifth Avenue Baptist Church and of Ahawath Chesed Synagogue, both in New York City. The rabbi of the synagogue, Isaac S. Moses, in the preface to the seventh edition of his The Sabbath-School Hymnal (New York: The Bloch Publishing Co., 1906), thanked Mrs. Marion Froelich for her help with English translations of German verse, and wrote:Prof. Gideon Froelich, whose genius has enriched this book with its finest melodies; no words are adequate to express the editor's gratitude and appreciation. For many years the organist of the above mentioned congregation, he has caught the spirit of Jewish melody, and the character of Jewish worship. His greater reward he will find in the joy which his compositions will produce in the hearts of thousands of Jewish children and in the gratitude of many worshipers in the Synagogue and the home.(source: AGO Founders Hymnal, p.96)
