[Oe List ...] Pentecost Blessings

That even makes it rhyme!

PENECOST HYMN
Tune: There's New World Coming

Like the sound of heaven with the rushing of the wind 
Came the fire a-burning and new life was given to all 
The young see visions and the old dream dreams 
Born of fire, filled with power, for Earth’s call.

To the light from darkness, and to freedom from fear 
Building from the ashes into one community 
Peter, Paul, and Luther, Augustine and Benedict 
Born of fire, filled with power, for Earth’s call.

With despair abounding and a lack of hope around 
Still the Spirit comes to the ones who birth the day 
Giving breath and being to the ones who give their death 
Born of fire, filled with power, for Earth’s call.

For the coming ages and the journey of mankind 
We claim the promise that the fire give life to them 
Deciding freely to live on behalf of all 
Bornof fire, filled with power, for Earth’s call.

Verse 4, Line 1 needs a change:  "...journey of us all"; "...journey of all life"; "...journey of The All"

What about “for the Earth”?

This song was a powerful one for me, even with its old style gender.  I never did find a replaceable word that fit the meter and the meaning.  Wish I could hear some of our great voices and our not so great voices singing this on this Pentecost Sunday.  I recall how the harmony filled the room with its power.        Sing out wherever you are!     Lynda Cock

Like the sound of heaven with the rushing of the wind 
Came the fire a-burning and new life was given to men. 
The young see visions and the old dream dreams 
Born of fire, filled with power, for all men.

To the light from darkness, and to freedom from fear 
Building from the ashes into one community 
Peter, Paul, and Luther, Augustine and Benedict 
Born of fire, filled with power, for all men.

With despair abounding and a lack of hope around 
Still the Spirit comes to the ones who birth the day 
Giving breath and being to the ones who give their death 
Born of fire, filled with power, for all men.

For the coming ages and the journey of mankind 
We claim the promise that the fire give life to them 
Deciding freely to live on behalf of all 
Born of fire, filled with power, for all men.
