Loving Spirit
1. Loving Spirit, Holy Spirit,
You have chosen me to be;
You have drawn me to Your wonder,
You have set Your sign on me.
2. Like a mother You enfold me,
Hold my life within Your own,
Feed me with Your very body,
Form me of Your flesh and bone.
3. Like a father You protect me,
Teach me the discerning eye,
Hoist me up upon Your shoulder,
Let me see the world from high.
4. Loving Spirit, in Your closeness
I am known and held and blest:
In Your promise is my comfort,
In Your presence I may rest.
