Author: J. Montgomery (1771-1854) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #513 (1987) Topics: Pentecost 12 The Witnessing Community Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God,
in all the fullness of your grace,
wherever human foot have trod,
descend upon our fallen race.
2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love
to preach the reconciling word;
anoint with power from heaven above
whenever gospel truth is heard.
3 Let darkness turn to radiant light,
confusion vanish from your path;
those who are weak inspire with might:
let mercy triumph over wrath!
4 O Spirit of the God, prepare
the whole wide world the Lord to meet;
breathe out new life, like morning air,
till hearts of stone begin to beat:
5 Baptize the nations; far and near
the triumphs of the cross record;
till Christ is glory shall appear
and every race declare him Lord! (Amen.) Languages: English Tune Title: GONFALON ROYAL
