Hymn 243: In Thy Name, O Blessed Saviour,

Verse 1

In Thy Name, O Blessed Saviour,

Gathered in this sacred place;

Here we seek a  Father’s blessing,

Plead and pray for needed grace;

From the ocean of Thy fulness,

Boundless, fathomless and free;

Let a tidal wave come sweeping,

Setting hearts at liberty.

 

 

Lifts the floodgates, lift the floodgates,

Let the tide come sweeping in;

Blessed tide of full salvation,

Washing, cleansing, from all sin.

 

Verse 2

Lift the floodgates, let salvation

In tremendous currents flow,

To the uttermost fulfilling 

Thy blest mission here below;

Until myriads of sinners 

Borne on love’s resistless tide,

Shall we swept into the kingdom,

And believers sanctified.

 

Verse 3

It is coming, we believe it 

Thou dost hear and answer prayer;

It is coming, we shall see it,

Thine almighty hand may bear;

Tides of power tides of glory,

Holy tides of perfect love,

Satisfying, overflowing,

Coming on us from above
