Praise the Spirit in creation,
breath of god, life's origin:
Spirit, moving on the water,
quickening worlds to life within,
source of breath to all things breathing,
lie in whom all lives begin.
Praise the Spirit, close companion
of our inmost thoughts and ways:
who, in showing us God's wonders,
is for us the power to gaze;
and god's will to those who listen,
by a still small voice conveys.
Praise the Spirit, who enlightened
priests and prophets with the word;
holy truth behind the wisdoms
which a yet knew not our Lord;
by whose love and power in Jesus,
God by us was seen and heard.
