Hymn for Pentecost
Spirit descend
as tongues of fire,
Kindle your church again.
That we may burn
with love for you,
Begin anew your reign.
Spirit arise within our heart,
Your breath to fill our soul.
That we may search
for God within,
Embrace creation's goal.
Spirit empow'r our every part
And blow your wind o'er all.
That we may gust
throughout the earth,
Reflect redemption's call.
Spirit consume
our troubled world
And shatter all our sin.
That we may bring
to birth in faith
A world for you to win.
Spirit enrich
our elders' dreams;
Let youth envision grace.
That we may both
together know
And see you face to face.
Spirit accept
our deepest prayer,
Awaken hope and love.
That we may name
your blessings now,
Echo your life above.
Spirit of God we know this day,
Your love and fire and pow'r.
With Father, Son, you live
and reign
Today and every hour.
