513 - The Holy Spirit

1. Like the murmur of the dove's song,

like the challenge of her flight,

like the vigor of the wind's rush,

like the new flame's eager might:

come, Holy Spirit come.

2. To the members of Christ's Body,

to the branches of the Vine,

to the Church in faith assembled,

to her midst as gift and sign:

come, Holy Spirit come.

3. With the healing of division,

with the ceaseless voice of prayer,

with the power to love and witness,

with the peace beyond compare:

come, Holy Spirit, come.

Phrase 1 of each stanza may be sung by one group, with a contrasted group singing phrase 2, and all joining for the final phrase.
