God's Blessed Spirit Moved His Virgin Saint

She Bore the Holy Spirit's Timeless Fruits

God's Blessed Spirit Moved His Virgin Saint, first published in 1974, is just one of a number of hymns written by the Benedictine Nuns of Stanbrook Abbey that are included in both the Liturgy of the Hours (ICEL, 1975) and the Divine Office (non-ICEL, 1974). A comprehensive list of the various contributions that the Sisters have made to liturgical developments in the Church over the past century can be found here. Words to the God's Blessed Spirit Moved His Virgin Saint can be found on page 3 (Hymn for Office of Readings) of the following pdf document: Proper Offices for St. Mary Domenica. It is sung to the tune Eventide, composed in 1861 by William Henry Monk (1823-1889).
