[Refrain:]
Spirit of holiness, wisdom and faithfulness,
wind of the Lord, blowing strongly and free,
strength of our serving and joy of our worshiping:
Spirit of God, bring your fullness to me!
1 You came to interpret and teach us effectively
all that the Savior 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 danger, directing us home;
now with us and in us, we welcome your company,
Spirit of Christ, in his name you have come! (Refrain)
