Father of light,
from whom every good gift comes,
send your Spirit into our lives
with the power of a mighty wind,
and by the flame of your wisdom
open the horizons of our minds.

Loosen our tongues
to sing your praise in words
beyond the power of speech,

for without your Spirit
man could never raise his voice
in words of peace
or announce the truth
that Jesus is Lord,

who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit.

One God,
forever and ever.

Amen.
