Spirit of holiness, wisdom and faithfulness,
Wind of the Lord, blowing strongly and free:
strength of our serving and joy of our worshipping —
Spirit of God, bring your fulness to me!
1 You came to interpret and teach us effectively
all that the Saviour has spoken and done;
to glorify Jesus is all your activity —
promise and gift of the Father and Son: [Refrain]
2 You came with your gifts to supply all our poverty,
pouring your love on the Church in her need;
you came with your fruit for our growth to maturity,
richly refreshing the souls that you feed: [Refrain]
3 You came to the world in its pride and futility,
warning of dangers, directing us home;
now with us and in us, we welcome your company;
Spirit of Christ, in his name you have come: [Refrain] Topics: Children and All-Age Worship; Church Worship; Church Year Pentecost; Holy Spirit Fruit of; Holy Spirit gifts of; Holy Spirit inspiration of; Pentecost and the Work of the Holy Spirit; Proper 8 Year C Scripture: John 16:5-15 Languages: English Tune Title: BLOW THE WIND SOUTHERLY
