Spirit Of The Living God

O Spirit of the living God, thou Light and Fire Divine

Descend upon Thy Church once more and make it truly Thine

Fill it with love and joy and power, with righteousness and peace

Till Christ shall dwell in human hearts, and sin and sorrow cease.

Blow, wind of God, with wisdom blow until our minds are free

From mists of error, clouds of doubt, which blind our eyes to Thee

Burn, winged fire, inspire our lips with flaming love and zeal

To preach to all Thy great good news, God's glorious commonweal.

So shall we know the the power of Christ, who came this world to save

So shall we rise with Him to life which soars beyond the grave

And earth shall win true holiness which makes Thy children whole

Till, perfected by Thee, we reach creation's glorious goal
