- 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.
- 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.
- Be darkness, at Thy coming, light;
Confusion, order in Thy path;
Souls without strength inspire with might:
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.
- 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.
- Baptize the nations; far and nigh
The triumphs of the cross record;
The name of Jesus glorify
Till every kindred call Him Lord! Amen.
