今天介紹的詩歌是中文詩歌本和英文詩歌本都在第2首的詩歌－The Spirit of God(神靈如火)
第一次聽到這首歌是參加傳道爐邊聚會時，聽到傳教士重唱這首詩歌的中文版，那時候就一直記得這首歌的弦律
最近有機會拿到幾張CD，裡面剛好也有這一首，我才知道這首歌的歌名
這首歌也是聖墊奉獻的時候會唱的歌

下面是我找到的很壯麗的版本

歌詞如下：

The Sprit of God

1.
The Sprit of God like a fire is burning!
The latter-day glory begins to come forth;
The visions and blessings of old are returning,
And angels are coming to visit the earth.

(chorus)
We'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven,
Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb!
Let glory to them in the highest be givin,
Hence forth and forever, Amen and amen!

2.
Th Lord is extending the Saints' understanding,
Restoring their judges and all as at first.
The knowledge and power of God are expanding;
The veil o'er the earth is beginning to burst.

(chorus)
We'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven,
Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb!
Let glory to them in the highest be givin,
Hence forth and forever, Amen and amen!

3.
We'll call in our solemn assemblies in spirit,
To spread forth the kingdom of heaven abroad,
That we through our faith may begin to inherit
The visions and blessings and glories of God.

(chorus)
We'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven,
Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb!
Let glory to them in the highest be givin,
Hence forth and forever, Amen and amen!

4.
How blessed the day when the lamb and the lion
Shall lie down together without any ire,
And Ephraim be crowned with his blessing in Zion,
As Jesus descends with his chariot of fire!

(chorus)
We'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven,
Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb!
Let glory to them in the highest be givin,
Hence forth and forever, Amen and amen!
