Subject: i'm looking for a old spritual lyic From: GUEST,louise-rich@ouhsc.edu Date: 27 Feb 00 - 01:25 AM I'm trying to find the lyrics to an old Christian spiritual. I don't know the title, but only one verse:
Heard the lament of a lone whiporwill Spirit of God, man longs that you only Fill the earth Bring it to birth And blow, where you will Blow, blow, blow till I be But the breath of the spirit blowing in me. Spirit of God in the finger of morning Blowing to greatness the trees on the hill .... Do you have any idea what the name of this song is, and where I can find the rest of the lyrics? Thanks so much, Louise |

Subject: Lyr Add: SPIRIT OF GOD (Sr Miriam Therese Winter) From: Joe Offer Date: 28 Feb 00 - 01:59 AM Thanks, Vissjoy - that's just the hint I needed to help me find it. -Joe Offer- (lyrics sent by e-mail to original requester) SPIRIT OF GOD (words by Sister Miriam Therese Winter) Spirit of God in the clear running water Blowing to greatness the trees on the hill. Spirit of God in the finger of morning, Fill the earth, bring it to birth And blow where you will. Blow, blow, blow till I be But breath of the Spirit blowing in me. Down in the meadow the willows are moaning Sheep in the pasture land cannot lie still. Spirit of God, creation is groaning, Fill the earth, bring it to birth And blow where you will. Blow, blow, blow till I be But breath of the Spirit blowing in me. I saw the scar of a year that lay dying Heard the lament of a lone whippoorwill. Spirit of God, see that cloud crying, Fill the earth, bring it to birth And blow where you will. Blow, blow, blow till I be But breath of the Spirit blowing in me. Spirit of God, every man's heart is lonely, Watching and waiting and hungry still Spirit of God, man longs that you only Fulfill the earth, bring it to birth And blow where you will. Blow, blow, blow till I be But breath of the Spirit blowing in me. © 1965, by Medical Mission Sisters, Philadelphia, PA JRO Sorry – don't know the tune, or where it came from. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Spirit of God (Sr Miriam Therese Winter) From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Nov 08 - 09:53 PM Hi, Annette - take a look at the Permission for use (click) section of the Web page of Sister Miriam Therese Winter. I think it's automatic for one-time use if you're not charging admission for the event, but read the page over for yourself. Note:
