W:Spirit, Spirit of Gentleness
W:James K. Manley, 1978

W:(Chorus:)
W:Spirit, Spirit of gentleness, blow through the wilderness,
W:calling and free.
W:Spirit, Spirit of restlessness,
W:stir me from placidness,
W:Wind, Wind on the sea.
W:
W:1. You moved on the waters, you called to the deep,
W:then you coaxed up the mountains from the valleys of sleep,
W:and over the eons you called to each thing:
W:Awake from your slumbers and rise on your wings.
W:
W:2. You swept through the desert,
W:you stung with the sand,
W:and you goaded your people with a law and a land,
W:and when they were blinded with their idols and lies,
W:then you spoke through your prophets to open their eyes.
W:
W:3. You sang in a stable, you cried from a hill,
W:then you whispered in silence when the whole world was still,
W:and down in the city you called once again,
W:when you blew through your people on the rush of the wind.
W:
W:4. You call from tomorrow, you break ancient schemes,
W:from the bondage of sorrow the captives dream dreams,
W:our women see visions, our men clear their eyes,
W:with bold new decisions your people arise.
