Holy Spirit, breathe on us,
Holy Spirit, breathe through us,
Anointing Spirit, Creator Spirit, breathe on us,
Anointing Spirit, give to us all your gifts that they may grow in us:

About Holy Spirit, Come to Us
This accessible anthem for SAB choir and organ is ideal for occasions such as Pentecost or services focusing on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The English text is a heartfelt invocation, praying for the Spirit's presence, comfort, and inspiration. It develops this theme by asking for the Spirit to breathe life and gifts into the singers, specifically mentioning wisdom, understanding, grace, love, and humility. The composer also includes a prayer for strength and the will to live and speak Christ’s Word. This moving petition offers a clear and devotional message, well-suited for congregational reflection.
