Holy Spirit, force of life
Who ignores the frontiers of cultures and religions,
past and present,
come and renew the face of the earth!
Holy Spirit, force of life
Who knows how to open the closed doors of our hearts,
unmask our idols, overthrow the powers,
come and renew the face of the earth!
Holy Spirit, force of life
who frees us from fear and submission to fate
and inspire oppressed peoples
with courage,
come and renew the face of the earth!
Holy Spirit, force of life
Who breaks down the barriers of contempt and racism,
to create links and build bridges,
come and renew the face of the earth!
