The Wind Blows Where It Wills
A setting by Jacob B. Weber for SATB, piano, and optional flute for a Pentecost text by Stephen P. Starke.
A Pentecost text by Stephen P. Starke is treated with a setting by Jacob B. Weber for SATB, piano, and optional flute. This setting features a flowing accompaniment and a lyrical melody with a memorable refrain. The flute part provides variety and effective text painting.
The wind blows where it wills, we hear its sound,
We cannot tell its source or where it goes;
And so it is with all those born of God,
All those upon whom God has placed His name:
Come, Holy Spirit,
Breath of grace,
O Wind divine.
Your mercy will not break the trampled reed
Nor will You snuff the dimly burning wick;
With tender care, Lord, bind our broken lives
And fan again our smold’ring faith to flame:
Come, Holy Spirit,
Breath of grace,
O Wind divine.
