Suggested Tune BERLIN (7.7.7.7.D and refrain.)

If the old now dream your dreams

And the young your visions see,

Then, Almighty, make us bold,   

That these wonders may be told:   

Holy Fire, Come and renew -

Change us to bring change for you.

Heal our land, transform the world.

May we now, both old and young,

Speak your love in every tongue.

Speak your love in every tongue.

If you show your wonders, Lord,

Both in heaven and on earth

Show them in the way we love -

Since your love showed us our worth

Breath of God, Come and renew -

Change us to bring change for you.

Heal our land, transform the world.

May we now, both old and young,

Speak your love in every tongue.

Speak your love in every tongue.

Equally the two are wrong:

Silent saint with no Good News;

Loud and loveless, hollow gong.

Spirit keep us true to you.

Stream of Life, Come and renew -

Change us to bring change for you.

Heal our land, transform the world.

May we now, both old and young,

Speak your love in every tongue.

Speak your love in every tongue.

 

Body: one! in Spirit: one!

Build your Body, make us strong.

One in Christ to serve the One;:

Send us out - your will be done.

God of Love, Come and renew -

Change us to bring change for you.

Heal our land, transform the world.

May we now, both old and young,

Speak your love in every tongue.

Speak your love in every tongue.
