Author: Henry Hallam Tweedy Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God,
pure Light and Fire Divine:
burn brightly in your church once more,
its life and faith refine.
Fill it with love and joy and power,
with righteousness and peace;
till Christ shall dwell in human hearts,
and sin and sorrow cease.
2 Blow, Wind of God! With wisdom blow
disperse and put to flight
the mists of error, clouds of doubt
which hide you from our sight.
Burn, Winged Fire! Inspire our lips,
renew in us your call to preach
with zeal your great good news;
God's love extends to all.
3 Teach us to utter living words
of truth which all may hear,
the language all can understand
when love speaks loud and clear;
Till every nation, age and race
shall blend their creeds in one,
and all together use their gifts
to see your will is done.
4 So shall we know the power of Christ,
the strength of love to save,
so shall we rise with Christ to life
which soars beyond the grave;
And earth shall win true holiness,
which makes your children whole,
and draws us on by grace to reach
creation's glorious goal! Topics: Church Mission in the World; Church Nature and Unity; Holy Spirit Renewal of; Pentecost Day of Scripture: Acts 2:1-21 Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW
