Lyrics:

Refrain: Envía tu Espíritu, sea renovada la faz de la tierra. (Send out your spirit, and renew the face of the earth.)

1. Spirit of the living God, burn in our hearts, and make us a people of hope and compassion.

2. Wind of promise, wind of change, friend of the poor, empower your people to make peace and justice.

3. Breath of life and holiness, heal every wound, and lead us beyond every sin that divides us.
