Author: Cecily Taylor (b. 1930) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #607 (2008) Meter: 12.11.12.11 Lyrics: 1 The bright wind is blowing, the bright wind of heaven,
and where it is going to, no one can say;
but where it is passing our hearts are awaking
to stretch from the darkness and reach for the day.
2 The bright wind is blowing, the bright wind of heaven,
and many old thoughts will be winnowed away;
the husk that is blown is the chaff of our hating,
the seed that is left is the hope for our day.
3 The bright wind is blowing, the bright wind of heaven,
the love that it kindles will never betray;
the fire that it fans is the warmth of our caring,
so lean on the wind - it will show us the way. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit in the Church - Enlivening and Renewing the Church; Sharing and Caring Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:4 Languages: English Tune Title: THE BRIGHT WIND OF HEAVEN
