Canticle for Pentecost

Psalm 104. Acts 2.

Refrain:
Send, O God, your Holy Spirit,
give us new life,
come, transform us, Holy Spirit,
come like a storm and fill this house.



Lord, our God, accept our praises,
All that we see
tells the story of your Spirit.
Creator God, we praise your name.

Send, O God, your Holy Spirit ...

Clothed with majesty and splendor
you ride the wind
wrapped in light and served by fire.
Creator God, we praise your name.

Send, O God, your Holy Spirit ...

Birds and beasts and human beings
find all they need
thanks to you, our heav'nly parent.
Creator God, we praise your name.

Send, O God, your Holy Spirit ...

Ev'ry part of your creation
sings, God, to you
hymns of thankfulness and blessing.
Creator God, we praise your name.

Send, O God, your Holy Spirit ...

None of us can be without you,
author of life!
Haste, O God, to send your Spirit.
Creator God, we praise your name.

Send, O God, your Holy Spirit,
give us new life,
come, transform us, Holy Spirit,
come like a storm and fill this house.


(F. Wendt, based on Psalm 104)
