Classic Poem

Come, thou spirit of the promise,
Shed abroad thy saving light,
Spread, oh, spread the wings of morning
O'er the darkness of the night
Breathe, oh, breathe thy holy unction,
Come, oh, come, thou tongue of fire,
Speak the living word within us,
And our weary souls inspire.
Light that shone upon the desert,
Where the host of Israel trod,
Guide, oh, guide us with thy presence,
As we journey home to God
