J. Paul Williams

Holy Spirit, Gentle Dove

Graceful words by J. Paul Williams, complemented by delicately expressive music by David Lantz, III, unite for a serene prayer perfect for use during Pentecost or anytime a quiet anthem is desired. Written as three verses, the first asks the 'Holy Spirit, Gentle Dove' to touch our minds; then 'Holy Spirit, Gentle Voice, let us hear your call'; and finally 'Holy Spirit, Cleansing Fire, come and cleanse each heart. ' An optional male solo in the beginning, several optional a cappella sections displaying the rich blend of the chords in the vocal writing, and gracefulness throughout make Holy Spirit, Gentle Dove a song your choir will love singing.
