Another excellent Vene Sancte genre song, this time from Michael Mangan. We also have used this frequently for confirmations, and as with a lot of Michael’s songs, this should not be considered only a children’s song.
You can hear a sample and buy the sheet music in the “Setting Hearts on Fire” collection, here.
I have always needed to watch the tempo to avoid going to fast on this one.
Verse 1
Holy Spirit of Fire, open up our hearts set us ablaze.
Holy Spirit of Fire, help us know the mystery of God’s ways.
Chorus
Keep us blazing, keep us burning,
Open up our hearts to fan your flames of love,
Holy Spirit of Fire.
Verse 2
Holy Spirit of Fire, fill us with a passion for your life.
Holy Spirit of fire, help us show the world your shining light.
Chorus
Verse 3
Holy Spirit of Fire, fan the flames of courage in our hearts.
Holy Spirit of Fire, help us live the Good News where we are.
Chorus
Verse 4
Holy Spirit of Fire, breathe your fire of love into our lives.
Holy Spirit of Fire, keep the embers glowing through the night.
Chorus
