Lyrics:
Spirit of mercy, truth and love, Send us your gifts from heaven above. And still from age to age convey The wonders of this sacred day. Come, Holy Spirit, come and fill this heart of mine. Come, Holy Spirit, come bring your light divine. In every age and by every tongue be God's eternal praises sung; Praise to the Father, priase to the Son, Praise to the Spirit, Three in One! Unfailing Comfort, heavenly guide, Still o'er your Holy Church preside. Send down your wisdom like a dove, Spirit of mercy, truth and love! |
Spirit of Mercy, Truth and LoveYour singers will enjoy this lyrical call to the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, at Confirmations, or at any service where the Spirit-at-work is emphasized! With a Celtic-inspired melody that sits comfortably in the middle of the choir member's ranges, supported by a harp-like piano accompaniment, this piece is easy and fun to learn.
It is written for either SATB or SAB choir, piano and soprano soloist. Both the SATB and SAB versions (with a baritone range that does not strain the basses) are included in one PDF file for your convenience--just use what you need. The piece is available for license at Payhip: https://payhip.com/b/Uhroa Rather than charge by copy, my license agreement includes as many copies as you need to make for your choir for a rate of $15 per church. The recording above is the SAB version. I do hope you will give this piece a try with your choir, and would love feedback on how it sounded! |
