Verse 1
O Spirit of The Living God,
In all Thy plentitude of grace,
Where’ er the foot of man hath trod,
Descend on our apostate race.
Verse 2
Give tongues of fire and hearts of love,
To preach the the reconciling Word;
ive power and unction from above
Where’ er the joyful sound is heard.
Verse 3
Be darkness, at Thy coming, light;
Confusion order in Thy path:
Souls without strength inspire with
might;
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.
Verse 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.
Verse 5
Baptize the nations; far and high
The triumphs of the cross record;
The name of Jesus glorify,
Till every kindred call Him Lord.
Verse 6
God, from eternity, hath willed
All flesh shall His salvation see;
So be the Father’s love fulfilled,
The Saviour’s sufferings crowned
through Thee.
James Montgomery.
