Called by the Gospel to gather this people of God
Called to embrace all communities here into one
Broken and bonded by pains of the past
Striving to fashion a love that will last
We call on the Spirit of God to open our hearts
Come, Spirit of Wisdom and Light
Come, Spirit of Consolation
Come, Spirit of Strength, fire of Love
Come, bathe our darkness in light
Come, reveal what will liberate us
Make of us one
Come, Holy Spirit, come
Carry the cross now and bring down the Word of the Lord
Lighten the pathway and celebrate the Spirit come forth
Come set the table with gifts of the earth
Pray for this moment to mark our rebirth
And call on the Spirit of God to open us more
We open our hands, prepare to receive
We open our hearts, for we believe
