Tune: Lasst Uns Erfreuen
('All creatures of our God and King')
********
Wind of the Spirit on us blow
Come fill your creatures here below
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Life-giving breath, you all sustain
Spirit of truth and love unfeign[ed]
We give you worship once again
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Zephyr, gentle breeze, we do feel
Humbly before you do we kneel
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Or strong and powerful, e'en gale
Ever fresh, vibrant, never stale
Faithful Spirit, you will ne'er fail
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Help us Lord, we cannot control
Your Spirit, but can Him extol
Alleluia, Alleluia!
For you Lord said that such shall be
Who are born of your Spirit, see
Cannot be contained rigidly
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
For the wind does blow where it will
Help us hear your voice, and be still
Alleluia, Alleluia!
And to go in its flow, your way
Daily continue, watch and pray
You are our guide, we not dismay
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Creation your handiwork shows
Each thing your love and grace bestows
Alleluia, Alleluia!
May we conserve,and your earth tend
your presence with us, us defend
That we be faithful to the end
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8.8. metre with Alleluias - 'only' 25 in this write! Thoughts of the wind, the sky, the Spirit, creation, conservation..... Inspired by one of Neville's poems recently on theme of the wind.

I dunno why some complain, if a hymn is say, more than 4 verses long. C'mon now, ya only got 25 Alleluias in this one! The penultimate line of each verse could have been two more Alleluias too, instead of 'O praise Him'.
an inspiring write if ever there was.....
…...and partly due to you, N! 🙂
