Here associated with John W. Arthur's text:

Spirit of God, Unleashed on Earth

Spirit of God, unleashed on earth
with rush of wind and roar of flame!
With tongues of fire, saints spread good news.
Earth, kindling, blazed her loud acclaim.


You came in power, the church was born.
O Holy Spirit, come again!
From living waters raise new saints.
Let new tongues hail the risen Lord.


With burning words of victory won,
inspire our hearts grown cold with fear.
Revive in us baptismal grace,
and fan our smoldering lives to flame.
