Author: F. Pratt Green (born 1903) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #230 (1987) Meter: 6.6.6 D Hymnal Title: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) Lyrics: 1 Let every Christian pray,
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:
never has he withdrawn,
since that tremendous dawn,
the gifts at Pentecost.
3 Age after age, he strove
to teach her how to love:
Come, Holy Spirit, come;
age after age, anew
she proved the gospel true:
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
4 Only the Spirit's power
can fit us for this hour:
Come, Holy Spirit, come;
instruct, inspire, unite,
and make us see the light:
Come, Holy Spirit, come! Topics: God, Spirit Breath of Life; Pentecost The Holy Spirit; Pentecost 7 The More Excellent Way Languages: English Tune Title: LUDGATE
