Spirit of God, creation's power
1 Spirit of God, creation's power,
transforming shapeless space;
dynamic from the primal hour,
you poured out love and grace.
2 Spirit of God, at work in all,
refreshing history.
You motivate both great and small
with skill and artistry.
3 Spirit of God, prophetic source,
unveiling heaven's truth
through Christ, whose patient moral force
amazed both age and youth.
4 Spirit of God, at Pentecost,
surprising Greek and Jew
with tongues of flame you sought the lost,
the whole wide world in view.
5 Spirit of God, your people's light,
awakening our search;
point us to Christ, our great delight,
revitalize your church.
6 So we rejoice, God's holy dove,
foreseeing Paradise;
and now await, moved by your love,
that final great surprise !
