Hymn | Many Gifts, One Spirit

Many gifts, one Spirit,
one love known in many ways.
In our difference is blessing,
from diversity we praise
one Giver, one Lord, one Word
known in many ways, hallowing our days.
For the Giver and the Gifts,
praise, praise, praise.*

It’s a rare hymn writer who can live both in the church and on Broadway. Alvin Allison (Al) Carmines Jr. (1936-2005), the author and composer of “Many Gifts, One Spirit,” was a leading figure in the expansion of the Off-Off-Broadway theater in the 1960s.
The hymn was commissioned for an Assembly of the Women’s Division of the General Board of Global Ministries in 1973. The Rev. Carlton Young, editor of the UM Hymnal, notes that this hymn “is one of the first texts to express the unity, creativity and witness of the Spirit within our diversity of human gifts and conditions in completely inclusive language with respect to both people and deity.”
The hymn first appeared in Go to Galilee: Songs by Al Carmines (1974).
