  1. O Spirit of the living God,
    In all Thy plenitude of grace,
    Where’er the foot of man hath trod,
    Descend on our apostate race.

  2. Give tongues of fire, and hearts of love
    To preach the reconciling word;
    Give power and unction from above
    Whene’er the joyful sound is heard.

  3. Be darkness, at Thy coming, light;
    Confusion, order in Thy path;
    Souls without strength inspire with might:
    Bid mercy triumph over wrath.

  4. O Spirit of our Lord, prepare
    All the round earth her God to meet;
    Breathe Thou abroad, like morning air,
    Till hearts of stone begin to beat.

  5. Baptize the nations; far and nigh
    The triumphs of the cross record;
    The name of Jesus glorify
    Till every kindred call Him Lord! Amen.
