this day and every day,
come, Holy Spirit, come!
Was not the church we love
commissioned from above?
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
2 The Spirit brought to birth
the church of Christ on earth
to seek and save the lost:
God never has withdrawn,
since that tremendous dawn,
the gifts at Pentecost.
3 Only the Spirit's power
can fit us for this hour,
come, Holy Spirit, come!
Unite, instruct, inspire
and fill us with your fire:
come, Holy Spirit, come! Topics: Canticles and Scripture Paraphrases; Church; Church Year Day of Pentecost; Gladness / Happiness; Holy Spirit Power of Languages: English Tune Title: LUDGATE
