"Father, Lord of earth and heaven,
King to whom all gifts belong.
Give your greatest Gift, your Spirit
God the holy, God the strong.
Son of God, enthroned in Glory,
Send your promised Gift of grace,
Make your Church your holy Temple,
God the Spirit's dwelling-place.
Spirit, come, in peace descending
As at Jordan, heavenly Dove,
Send forth your Spirit, O Lord,
Seal your Church as God's anointed,
Set our hearts on fire with love.
Stay among us, God the Father,
Stay among us, Holy Spirit;
Dwell within us, make us one."
