1 Holy Spirit, ever living as the Church's very life; Holy Spirit, ever striving through her in a ceaseless strife; Holy Spirit, ever forming in the Church the mind of Christ; thee we praise with endless worship for thy fruits and gifts unpriced.
2 Holy Spirit, ever working through the Church's ministry; quickening, strengthening and absolving, setting captive sinners free; Holy Spirit, ever binding age to age, and soul to soul, in a fellowship unending thee we worship and extol.
