Text: | Our Lord, his passion ended |

Tune: | NAPHILL |
Composer: | Harold Darke (b. 1888) |
1 Our Lord, his passion ended,
hath gloriously ascended,
yet though from him divided,
he leaves us not unguided;
all his benefits to crown
he hath sent his Spirit down,
burning like a flame of fire
his disciples to inspire.
2 God's Spirit is directing;
no more they sit expecting;
but forth to all the nation
they go with exultation;
that which God in them hath wrought
fills their life and soul and thought,
so their witness now can do
work as great in others too.
3 The centuries go gliding
but still we have abiding
with us that Spirit Holy
to make us brave and lowly--
lowly, for we feel our need,
God alone is strong indeed;
brave, for with the Spirit's aid
we can venture unafraid.
4 O Lord of every nation,
fill us with inspiration!
We know our own unfitness,
yet for thee would bear witness.
By thy Spirit now we raise
to the heavenly Father praise:
Holy Spirit, Father, Son,
make us know thee, ever One.
