Mighty God Who Called Creation

Author: Carl P.

Come, enflame us, Holy Spirit, Like the Church at Pentecost; Help us bear the light of blessing To the least, the last, the lost. 3 Rooted in the love of Jesus, Nourished by His flesh and blood, May we prove a fruitful vineyard Joined in mutual servanthood. Work through us, O risen Savior, To reap peace from fields of strife; Bring our barren wastes to blossom; Lead us out of death to life. 4 Keep us faithful, joyful, loving, Filled with hope through grief and pain, Knowing that the One who made us Has redeemed and will sustain: Triune God, of boundless glory, Yet in human form made known, Raise us up to be a people Called by love to be Your own.
