Pentecost= Poem to the Holy Spirit= By Streets Of Gold

Holy Spirit Lord of light, from your clear celestial height, your pure beaming radiance give.

Come Father of the poor. Come treasures which endure. Come light of all that live.

Thou, of all consolers best, visiting the troubled breast, dost refreshing peace bestow.

Thou in toil art comfort sweet, pleasant coolness in the heat, solace in the midst of woe.

Light immortal. Light Divine, visit thou these hearts of Thine, and our inmost being fill.

If thou take thy grace away, nothing pure in man will stay, all his good is turn’d to ill.

Heal our wounds – our strength renew, on our dryness pour Thy dew, wash the stains of guilt away.

Bend the stubborn heart and will, melt the frozen warm the chill. Guide the steps that go astray.

Thou, on those who ever more Thee confess, and Thee Adore, in Thy sevenfold gift descend.  Give Them comfort when thy die, give them life with Thee on high;  give them joys which never end.  Amen

Question= How are you using your spiritual gifts to advance the kingdom of God?
