Come, Life-Giving Spirit (2017) 2.5’
This Pentecost anthem uses the fine Irish folksong/hymn tune, Slane, best known (in churches) as “Be Thou My Vision.” The prayer is for the Spirit to empower us and to cleanse us from sin. Here is a sample of my lyrics.
Come, life-giving Spirit, abide in my heart.
Live in me always and never depart.
Your flame be my passion that burns night and day,
that teaches and guides me and shows me God’s way.
SAB, flute, and piano
An invitation for the Holy Spirit's visitation on Pentecost.
