In all creation, in each tiny flower, in every life we see God's living power. 2 More glorious still that day of storm and flame when God on Sinai's mount to Moses came; when Israel, from the waters brought ashore, received its calling and God's holy law. For on that day of God, the great I AM, the spirit on the chosen people came. 3 Most wonderful of all that holy dawn in which the Saviour of the world was born! The Spirit rest on a Hebrew maid and God in human form came to our aid. Then, Holy Spirit,your great love excelled when we our God in flesh and blood beheld. 4 Christ rose from death, victorious over sin; the ascended Lord now reigns, the world to win; and on the church that it may witness give, God's love was poured, that through it all might live. On this fresh Pentecost, life-giving Lord, come, spread through us your saving love abroad. Topics: Pentecost Scripture: Genesis 1:1-5 Used With Tune: YORKSHIRE
