See The Paraclete

This sheet brings together two classic hymns dedicated to the Holy Spirit, making it a perfect resource for Pentecost Sunday. The first piece, "See The Paraclete," captures the dramatic descent of the Holy Spirit with "celestial fire." Its bright, alleluia-filled chorus invites the congregation to offer grateful praise for the heavenly graces bestowed upon the Church. As we sing through the verses, the text moves from the awe of that first Pentecost to the courage it gives "timid souls," reminding us of the transforming power of the Spirit.

The second hymn, "Spirit Of Mercy, Truth, And Love," offers a more gentle, sustained prayer for the Spirit's continued guidance. Set to a reverent melody, it asks that the wonders of that sacred day be conveyed "from age to age." In the choir loft, these two pieces complement each other beautifully—one vibrant and declarative, the other a steadfast prayer for the Church's unfailing comfort and heavenly guide. Together, they help lead the faithful into a deeper celebration of the Spirit's presence in our lives.
