Spirit of God On the Waste and the Darkness is written by the Benedictine Nuns of Stanbrook Abbey. In the Divine Office (1974) it is one of the hymns selected for use during Eastertide after Ascension Day. It is set to Liebster Immanuel, a melody from the Himmels-Lust of 1679, adapted and harmonized by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). An alternative tune that can also be used is Morning Star, as featured in the following video.
