lyrics

1.On Babel's plain, the fires of men
In common purpose roared
The unity that God once gave
They seized with one accord

But God poured out peculiar tongues,
Peculiar, odd, and vain
They scattered all the human fires,
That burned on Babel’s plain.

2.The desert pealed with flames divine,
“I hear my people's cry!”
But Moses turned his face to hide
From unconsuming fire.

“O Lord and God,” the shepherd pled,
“My tongue is mute and mired.”
“O who inspires mortal mouths?”
The holy flame inquired.

CHORUS:
Holy Spirit, Come O Sacred Fire
Holy Spirit, Come Our Hearts Inspire

3.On Sinai’s crest, the storms of God
In gales of holy dread
Beset the mount in veils of fire,
With smoke it palled and spread

Then God gave Moses words of life
In thund’rous peals construed
And Isr’el spoke in stark reply,
“What God says we will do.”

4. In Galilee, the holy cloud
That brandished Sinai's crest
Bestowed itself on Mary's frame
And settled there to rest

Then holy fires of power divine
Beheld her virgin womb;
They tabernacled in her flesh
But left her unconsumed

5. At Pentecost, the winds of God,
In savage tempest roared;
Like Sinai’s mount, their flesh assumed
The fires of their Lord

Then God poured out peculiar tongues,
From native lands abroad
And birthed the Church as holy flesh
In unity with God
