After Pentecost     Pentecost 1     Trinity Sunday     John 16:12-15, particularly verse 13

The Spirit (YC No 197)

The spirit Christ imparts to us,

By which God can be known,

Speaks to us with a still small voice,

And in a gentle tone.

This godly spirit teaches truth,

The truth that sets us free;

And in that truth ‘the Sacred’ dwells

Enshrined in mystery.

This godly spirit guides to truth

Lived out in Galilee;

This truth affirms for us, the worth

Of our humanity.

This spirit is the love divine

Embedded in our soul;

This spirit guides our daily path,

And makes us truly whole.

We make connection with this love,

That holds us constantly,

When we bond with this spirit’s zeal

With faith and energy.
