4CALL TO WORSHIP One Spirit of the living God,
visit us again this day of Pentecost. All
come, Holy Spirit, come. One On rushing winds
that sweep away all barriers, All come, Holy
Spirit, come. One With tongues of fire that set
our hearts aflame, All come, Holy Spirit, come.
/2
5One With speech that unites the babel of our
tongues, All come, Holy Spirit, come. One
With love that overleaps the boundaries of race
and nation, All come, Holy Spirit, come. One
With power from above to make our weakness
strong, All come, Holy Spirit, come.

6One In the name of God, the Holy One, and of
Jesus Christ our Saviour, All come, Holy
Spirit, come.
