Wind of the Spirit, move us on – a hymn for Pentecost from Marjorie Dobson
1 Wind of the Spirit, move us on,
Drive us before your force.
We need that power to strengthen us
Of which you are the source.
Blow off the cobwebs of the past
And set us on your course:
O come Holy Spirit, move us on, move us on.
O come Holy Spirit, move us on.
2 Fire of the Spirit, burn in us,
Surround us with your light.
Destroy our sense of apathy,
Give us the will to fight.
That with our hearts on fire for Christ
We set the world alight:
Chorus
3 Voice of the Spirit speak to us,
Give us your words to say.
Inspire the language of your love,
Help us to preach and pray.
That all may hear of saving grace
Translated for their day:
Chorus
4 Christ, let your Spirit sweep through us,
Your serving Church renew.
Give us new hope and confidence
In all the work we do.
That those who seek for faith today
May find their way to you:
Chorus
Marjorie Dobson (born 1940)
