O SPIRIT of the living God, In all the fulness of Thy grace, Where’er the foot of man has 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 the Lord, prepare All the round earth her God to meet; Breathe Thou abroad like morning air, Till hearts of stone begin to beat. |
||
5 | Baptise the nations; far and nigh, The triumphs of the Cross record; The name of Jesus glorify, Till every kindred call Him Lord. |
