4 O Spirit All Embracing Richard Proulx LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST O Spirit all embracing and counselor all wise, unbounded splendor gracing a shoreless sea of skies: unfailing is your treasure, unfading your reward; surpassing worldly pleasure, the riches you afford. Come, stream of endless flowing, and rescue us from death; come, wind of springtime blowing, and warm us by your breath. O beauty ever blazing in flower, field, and face, you show yourself amazing in unexpected place. We see you and remember what once our dreams had been; you fan the glowing ember and kindle hope within. Come, fire of glory gracious, bless all who trust in you; undying flame tenacious, burn in your Church anew. Come, passion s power holy, your insight here impart, and give your servants lowly an understanding heart to know your care more clearly when faith and love are tried, to seek you more sincerely when false ideals have died; for vision we implore you, for wisdom s pure delight; in prayer we come before you to wait upon your light.
