Antiphon to the Holy Spirit
Men and Women sing.
Men.
O thou that movest all, O Power
That bringest life where'er Thou art,
O Breath of God in star and flower.
Mysterious aim of soul and heart;
Within the thought that cannot grasp Thee
In its unfathomable hold.
We worship Thee who may not clasp Thee,
O God, unreckoned and untold!
Women.
O Source and Sea of Love, O Spirit
That makest every soul akin,
O Comforter whom we inherit,
We turn and worship Thee within!
To give beyond all dreams of giving.
To lose ourselves as Thou in us,
We long; for Thou, O Fount of living,
Art lost in Thy creation thus!
