O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God,
“We bless you for our creation, preservation and all the blessings of this life”
in every need thou bringest aid,
The Primates of the Anglican Communion are gathering in great need; come to their aid, we pray.
thou camest forth from God’s great throne,
Though we do not merit or deserve it, you bring us grace from the Mercy Seat. Bring mercy and grace upon the Primates’ Meeting in Alexandria.
from God, the Father and the Son;
Call our Primates to unity in truth.
O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God.
Who with the Father and the Son lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
Words: Johann Niedling, 1651;
