Hymn 248: For a World-wide Revival,

Verse 1

For a World-wide revival,

Blessed Master, we pray,

Let the pow’r of the highest 

Be upon us to-day;

For this world dearly purchased 

By the blood of God’s Son,

Back from satan’s dominion 

And from sin must be won.

 

 

Send the pow’r, Oh Lord,

Send the pow’r, Oh Lord,

Send the Holy Ghost power, let it now 

be outpoured,

Send it surging and sweeping like the

 waves of the sea,

Send a world-wide revival, and begin

it in me

 

Verse 2

Send the showers of blessing,

As declared in Thy Word,

Let the Spirit of promise

On all flesh be outpoured;

Send the latter rain on us,

Till the land overflows,

Till the desert rejoicing 

Blossoms forth as the rose.

 

Verse 3

There’s a sound of a going

In the mulberry trees,

News of nations awaking,

Borne upon every breeze;

For the prayers of the children,

God in mercy doth own,

the revival’s beginning,

And the power’s coming down.
