I was looking through the hymn book "Singing the Faith" thinking about a new take on Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit both to the church and to the lives of Christian people. Michaela Youngson has written a new hymn at 399 which I found inspiring. The first verse goes...
When
deep despair casts out all light
and hope is wearing thin;
come Spirit, dance with gentle grace,
shine through the dullness we embrace
and make the colours sing;
and make the colours sing.
and hope is wearing thin;
come Spirit, dance with gentle grace,
shine through the dullness we embrace
and make the colours sing;
and make the colours sing.

It is set to the tune Repton, best known when used for the hymn "Dear Lord and Father of mankind"
I would have liked to quote the whole hymn but I'm sure that to do so is forbidden by copyright law.
