Into the world, with love
1 Into the world, with love,
God sends his trusted Son!
Dying and rising here
he claims us for his own:
Come, Holy Spirit of the Lord,
to help us live and speak your word.
2 Gathered from all four winds,
all languages, all lands,
Christ’s universal Church
suffers, survives, expands:
Come, Holy Spirit….
3 Partners in Christ are we,
members with different gifts;
valuing others’ skills,
facing and healing rifts:
Come, Holy Spirit….
4 Saints in the making now,
clay on the potter’s wheel,
seeking to be like Christ,
stamped with the Spirit’s seal:
Come, Holy Spirit….
5 Into the world we’re sent,
heeding the Saviour’s voice:
through life’s demanding days
Christ bids each heart rejoice:
Come, Holy Spirit….
