Text: | Holy Spirit, ever living |
Author: | Timothy Rees, 1874-1939 |
Tune: | ABBOT'S LEIGH |
Composer: | Cyril Vincent Taylor, b. 1907- |
1 Holy Spirit, ever living
as the Church's very life;
Holy Spirit, ever striving
through her in a ceaseless strife;
Holy Spirit, ever forming
in the Church the mind of Christ;
thee we praise with endless worship
for thy fruits and gifts unpriced.
2 Holy Spirit, ever working
through the Church's ministry;
quickening, strengthening and absolving,
setting captive sinners free;
Holy Spirit, ever binding
age to age, and soul to soul,
in a fellowship unending
thee we worship and extol.
