lutheranhymnsHave we heard this melody before?
Yes, it's Cwm Rhondda, aka soccer fans' parody favorite.
Does this also have the "evermore" echo part?
Sadly no.
Is the Holy Spirit associated with tempests and blazing?
Yes, in the Pentecost story the spirit comes like "tongues of fire" on people's heads with the sound of "a mighty wind."
What about earthquakes and thunder?
Less directly. I think that might be an allusion to a later story in Acts where an earthquake breaks Paul out of jail, but I'm not sure if that one is as explicitly linked with the Holy Spirit at work.
