Holy Spirit, New-Life Giver,

            Rushing wind, and gentle inner flame,

            Come, inspire us, strengthen, fire us,

            to the glory of your name.

Find the riches of Christ in the stranger

In the poor and those without worth.

God has chosen the weak and the worthless

As a challenge to the powers of earth.

           Holy Spirit, New-Life Giver,

Share the treasures of Christ with your neighbours,

With your friends and with family.

Let your life be a witness to Jesus;

May the church reflect God’s harmony.

            Holy Spirit, New-Life Giver,  ..

Join with others to work hard for justice

For the world, for the poor, for peace.

With his Spirit, we’ll work for the Kingdom;

May our efforts and our prayers not cease.

            Holy Spirit, New-Life Giver,  ..

Fill the world with the beauty of God’s love;

Let the waters of life flow strong.

Merge your words with your deeds and with others,

Let the world rejoice to hear our song.

            Holy Spirit, New-Life Giver,  ..
