Holy Spirit, Come With Power

1 Holy Spirit, come with power:
breathe into our aching night.
We expect you this glad hour,
waiting for your strength and light.
We are joyful, we are eager,
yearning for your gracious deed;
rest upon your congregation:
give us power of God, we plead.

2 Holy Spirit, come with fire.
Burn us with your presence new.
Let us as one mighty choir
sing our hymn of praise to you.
Burn away our wasted sadness
and enflame us with your love;
burst upon our congregation.
Give us gladness from above.

3 Holy Spirit, bring your message;
burn and breathe each word anew
deep into our tired living
till we strive your work to do.
Teach us love and trusting kindness;
bare our arms to those who hurt;
breathe upon your congregation
and inspire us with your Word.
