This 3 stanza poem calls Christians to bring Pentecost to India in order to meet the spiritual needs and cries of the Indian people. It describes the multitudes in India as yearning and burning for life after the collapse of ancient kingdoms. The poem asks God to send Pentecost to India to bring the cross to the heart of India and show them Jesus. It presents Christ and his cross of love as the living way that can offer peace, in contrast to the many proffered ways in Indian religion that still leave hearts pining. The final stanza pledges complete abandonment to God to make Christians prophets of their time with the power to do and dare through abiding in Christ.

Mighty empires passed away, Baffled lores and mystic longing Join the cry for life today, Open is the door effectual, See the multitudes that yearn, Reaching up from crushed existence Tis for life their hearts do burn. Show us Jesus! Hear the cry of Multitudes in thronging mart ! Send us Lord our Pentecost to Bring the cross to Indias heart.
2. Forth there goes the weary pilgrim
Seeking peace in lotus shrines Though the proffered ways are legion Still the heart of India pines. Christ the living way we offer, High we hold His: Cross of love, Joyfully we join in service, Build we beauty from above.
3. Eer abide in Me, says Jesus,
Would ye fruits of Spirit bear;
Yea, abide in us we pray thee, Grant us power to do and dare. So, we pledge Thee who hast called us, In one fellowship sublime, All we are in glad abandon Make us prophets of our time. Sung to the tune of Far and Near the Fields are Teeming. (clemm),.but with the music of the stanzas repeated..
