17047. Spirit of God, for Every Good

1. Spirit of God, for ev­ery good
Granted in sac­ra­ment­al mood,
We raise our song of gra­ti­tude—
Alleluia.

2. For wood­ed hills in ver­dure dressed,
For jew­eled wa­ters, wind ca­ressed,
For am­ple skies with glo­ries stressed—
Alleluia.

3. For beau­ty’s be­ne­dict­ive moods,
For friends­hip’s pure bea­ti­tudes,
For truth’s eter­nal rec­ti­tudes—
Alleluia.

4. For child­hood’s lur­ing po­ten­cies,
For youth’s in­vi­go­ra­ting dreams,
For man­hood’s full­er pro­phe­cies—
Alleluia.

5. And for Thy­self, O Spir­it Lord,
Creative Truth and Liv­ing Word,
We sing to­day in deep ac­cord—
Alleluia.
