Lord God, the Holy Ghost, <br />In this accepted hour, <br />As on the day of Pentecost, <br />Descend in all thy power. <br />We meet with one accord <br />Within this hallowed place, <br />And wait the promise of our Lord, <br />The Spirit of all grace. <br /> <br />Like mighty rushing wind <br />Upon the waves beneath, <br />Move with one impulse every mind; <br />One soul, one feeling breathe; <br />The young, the old inspire <br />With wisdom from above; <br />And give us hearts and tongues of fire, <br />To pray, and praise, and love. <br /> <br />Spirit of light, explore <br />And chase our gloom away, <br />With lustre shining more and more <br />Unto the perfect day. <br />Spirit of truth, be Thou, <br />In life and death, our guide: <br />O Spirit of adoption, now <br />May we be sanctified.<br /><br />James Montgomery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pentecost-5/
