Hymn 215: O Lord, “with one accord,”

Verse 1

O Lord, “with one accord,”

We gather round Thy Throne,

To hear Thy holy Word,

To worship Thee alone,

Now send from heav’n the Holy [Ghost,

Be this another Pentecost!

 

 

Verse 2

We have no strength to meet 

The storms that round us lower,

 Keep Thou our trembling feet

In every trying hour;

More than victorious shall we be

If girded with Thy panoply.

 

 

Verse 3

Where is the mighty wind 

That shook the holy place,

That gladdened every mind.

And brightened every face?

And where the cloven tongues of

Flame

That marked each follower of the [Lamb,

 

Verse 4

There is no change in Thee,

Lord God the Holy Ghost

Thy glorious majesty

Is as at Pentecost!

O may our loosened tongues pro-

claim,

That thou, Our God art still the [same,

 

Verse 5

And may that living wave,

That issues from on high,

Whose golden waters have 

Thy throne eternally:

Flow down in power on us to-day

And none shall go unblessed away!

 

Verse 6

Anoint us with Thy grace.

To yield ourselves to Thee;

To run our daily race,

With joy and energy,

Until we hear the Bridegroom say,

“Rise up my love, and come away,”

W. Pennefather
