Pentecost and Holy Spirit Lyrics

K.5 SPLENDOUR OF CREATION / Psalm 103

Chorus:
Send forth your Spirit, O Lord,
That the face of the earth be renewed.

O my soul, arise and bless the Lord God,
O Lord, in majesty,
Enrobed with pow'r and eternal might.

You are clothed with splendour and with beauty;
O God, and heav'nly light
Is like a cloud that conceals your face.

You have built your palace on the waters;
On wings of winds and fire,
You reign in heav'n, rule supreme on earth.

Like the winds, your angels fly before you;
As fire and flaming light,
Your ministers stand before your throne.

For the earth you fixed on its foundations;
Indeed, it shall stand firm,
And not be moved for unending years.

While I live, I sing the praise of Yahweh,
O Lord, your glorious praise
My lips proclaim: Blessed be the Lord.

Praise to God, the author of these marvels,
To God, the mighty One,
Who made the earth, glory to his name.

K.6 BEHOLD AMONG US

Chorus:
Behold among us the dwelling place of God;
We shall be his people
And He shall be our Lord and God.

People called by God throughthe work of the prophets;
People brought together in the house of the Lord;
People who attend to their Lord,
The Church of Christ the Lord!

Temple built by saints, by the martyrs and apostles;
Holy temple built upon Christ, the corner-stone;
Holy dwelling place of our God,
The Church of Christ the Lord!

People who are grafted on Jesus, the Vine;
Branches bearing fruit in the grace of the Lord;
Branches rooted in his great love,
The Church of Christ the Lord!

(K)K.8 FROM THE CITIES

From the cities, through the lanes,
(Onward we must go)
From the mountains, valleys, plains.
From the workshops, from our tools,
From the office, from our schools.

Chorus-1:
Onward to heaven, land for which we yearn!
Praise to you, O holy City, Church of Christ,
Tomorrow's home, where we hope one day
To gather all united round the throne.

Chorus-2:
Filled with hope, forth we go,
To the city of our God.
Onward then, Church of Christ,
Be united round his throne.

Whether joyful or distressed,
With high spirits or depressed,
Though we falter or succeed,
Whether wealthy or in need.

Glad to suffer every cross,
Counting all else as a loss,
Proud of being Sons of God
And disciples of the Lord.

With companions, kinsmen dear,
To our haven drawing near,
Whether healthy, whether ill,
Always doing God's own will.

K.10 THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD

The Spirit of the Lord is now upon me,
To heal the broken heart and set the captives free,
To open prison doors and make the blind to see,
The Spirit of the Lord is now on me.

K.12 SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD

Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me!
Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me!
Break me, melt me, mould me, fill me.
Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me.

K.13 HOLY SPIRIT LORD

Holy Spirit Lord, gift of God,
Holy Spirit Lord, light of truth,
Holy Spirit Lord, fire of love,
Come, Holy Spirit come.

Holy Spirit Lord, breath of God,
Holy Spirit Lord, breath of life,
Holy Spirit Lord, mighty wind,
Come, Holy Spirit come.

Holy Spirit Lord, living flame,
Holy Spirit Lord, cleansing fire,
Holy Spirit Lord, burning light,
Come, Holy Spirit come.

Holy Spirit Lord, give us faith,
Holy Spirit Lord, give us hope,
Holy Spirit Lord, give us love,
Come, Holy Spirit come.

K.14 SEND FORTH YOUR SPIRIT / Psalm 103

Chorus:
Send forth your Spirit, O Lord,
That the face of the earth be renewed.

O my soul, arise and bless the Lord God,
Say to Him: "My God, how great you are!"
You are clothed with majesty and splendour
And light is the garment you wear.

You have built your palace on the waters,
Like the winds the angels fly before you,
You have set the earth on its foundations,
So firm to be shaken no more.

All your creatures look to you for comfort,
From your open hand they have their fill;
You send forth your Spirit and revive them,
The face of the earth you renew.

While I live, I sing the praise of Yahweh.
I will thank the author of those marvels.
Praise to God the Father, Son and Spirit,
Both now and for ever. Amen.

K.17 ALL OVER THE WORLD

All over the world, the Spirit is moving,
All over the world, as the prophets said it would be,
All over the world, there’s a mighty revelation
Of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

All over the land, the Spirit is moving,
All over the land, as the prophets said it would be,
All over the land, there’s a mighty revelation
Of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

All over the Church, the Spirit is moving,
All over the Church, as the prophets said it would be,
All over the Church, there’s a mighty revelation
Of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

All over us all, the Spirit is moving,
All over us all, as the prophets said it would be,
All over us all, there’s a mighty revelation
Of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

Deep down in my heart, the Spirit is moving,
Deep down in my heart, as the prophets said it would be,
Deep down in my heart, there’s a mighty revelation
Of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

K.19 THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD

Chorus:
The Spirit of the Lord will be poured upon us,
Then shall the desert soon become such fertile land.
Justice shall take root in the thriving waste land,
And integrity will flourish in the valleys.

The Spirit of God moves up to bring
Good News to poor and stranger
And to the blind: new vision clear,
To set prisoners free.

Called to be gift and to proclaim
God's goodness for all persons,
We hope to heal hearts filled with pain.
And to comfort those grieving.

Yes, as the earth nurtures its crop
For all to share and care for,
So will our God bring to birth
The Spirit within us.

K.22 THE CHURCH'S ONE FOUNDATION

Chorus:
The Church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ, her Saviour and Lord.
She is his new creation
To bring all people to rebirth.

"I'm the vine," he says, "you're the branches.
You who live in me and I in you,
Abundant fruit you'll bear
And glory to the Father you will bring."

"You are Peter, the rock and foundation
On which I will build my Church," he said.
"You love me more than these?
Then, Peter, tend my flock and feed my sheep."

Many members, we, many parts indeed,
And still we form one body,
The body of the Lord,
Perfected by the Spirit in our hearts.

K.23 LORD, SEND OUT YOUR SPIRIT / Psalm 103

Chorus:
Lord, send out your Spirit,
And renew the face of the earth (2).

Bless the Lord, Oh my soul!
Oh Lord, my God, you are great indeed.
How manifold are your works, O Lord!
The earth is full of your creatures.

If you take away their breath, O Lord,
They die and return to their dust.
When you send forth your Spirit, they live.
You renew the face of the earth.

May the glory of the Lord endure for ever
And may the Lord be glad in his work.
Pleasing to Him be my theme,
For I rejoice in the Lord.

K.24 WHERE TWO OR THREE ARE GATHERED

Chorus:
Where two or three are gathered in my name,
There am I, there am I.
Where two or three are gathered in my name,
There am I in their midst evermore.

As a Church we belong to Christ's Body,
We're a kingdom of love and charity,
We're a city, a light to the nations,
Yes, the people of promise are we!

As a Body we grow strong together
When we focus our hearts on others' needs.
When we hold up the banner for justice,
When we love not by words but deeds.

As a people we're rooted in Jesus.
As a nation, united we stand!
But it's only through grace we are worthy
To inherit and enter our land.

K.25 BUILD YOUR CHURCH, LORD

I am building a people of power,
I am forming a people of praise,
That will move through this land by my Spirit
And will worship and honour my name.

Chorus:
Build your Church, Lord, make us strong, Lord,
Join our hearts, Lord, through Your Son,
Make us one, Lord, in Your body
In the Kingdom of Your Son.

I have broken the walls that divide you,
For I brought you a message of peace;
By my cross I have ended your warfare.
Gained access, in the Spirit, to God.

We are strangers and aliens no longer,
We belong to the household of God.
Our foundation: apostles and prophets,
And Christ Jesus: our firm corner-stone.
