1 We have told the blessed tidings
to a dark and troubled world.
From the poles to the equator
Christ's own banner is unfurled.
With the blessing of the Spirit
and the pentecostal flame,
those who else would death inherit
now sing praises to God's name.
2 With your blessing still ignite us,
burn our lips that we may speak,
witnessing to friends and family,
neighbors, strangers, all we meet;
always diligent in service,
spreading Jesus' love abroad;
with the Holy Spirit's power,
gathering all the church of God.
3 Time and skills are ours; Lord, use them
toward the great commission's goals.
Pour your Spirit out upon us
in compassion for lost souls.
May we use our gift and talents
never for ourselves alone;
make us servants, working always,
only that your name be known.
