English text
- Spirit of God, unseen as the wind,
- gentle as is the dove;
- touch us with truth and teach us to sing
- joy to you Lord above.
- Your voice the sound, heard in the wind,
- o’er fields and woods you sing;
- now I can hear the joy, my lord,
- the peace your song will bring.
- Spirit of God . . .
- Love in our hearts, praise in our prayers,
- we follow on your way;
- Lord of the sky, Lord of the earth,
- answer us when we pray.
- Spirit of God . . .
