Everyone Moved by the Spirit - Landry

This hymn for Pentcost was written by American musician, songwriter and at-the-time Roman Catholic priest Carey Landry (b 1944), based on Romans 8:14. It was originally released in his 1977 Abba Father collection (ref) and later included in The Collected Music Of Carey Landry Vol. 1 (North American Liturgy Resources - ref).

It is set to an unnamed tune, also by Landry. This has a 6/8 time signature. In the key of Ab the first few notes are G G G AB c B G_, with accompanying chords Eb / Ab / Eb.

Sheet music from the 3rd edition of Glory and Praise volume 3 is still available from OCP - see link below.

Everyone moved by the spirit is the son and daughter of God.
