Verse 1
Of Gifts and Pow’rs Miraculous,
Endowments rare we sing,
Equipment of anointed hearts
Shed forth by Christ the King,
Design’d from heav’n God’s light
and pow’r
To helpless earth to bring.
Verse 2
O blest, diversity of Gifts,
The Spirit’s Super-Sense,
Strong currents of Infinity,
Gleams of Omniscience,
Outpourings of Almightiness,
That Risen Hands dispense!
Verse 3
O blessed proofs of living Love
In Apostolic days,
Rejected long by formal minds
Now, to God’s endless praise,
Re-risen in this later age
Like dawn’s returning blaze!
Verse 4
Shine forth in richer radiance,
Break out in rarer might,
In miracles and mighty signs,
In this earth’s darkling night,
That once again Thy church may [be
Victorious in the fight.
Verse 5
O may Thy members, Mighty [Christ,
Most earnestly desire,
Most covetously thirst once more,
Most fervently aspire,
Till each arises furnished new
With ministries of fire!
Verse 6
Shall we neglect God’s glorious [plan
Shall we despise rare instruments
Of evangelic deed?
Lord, once again give gifts to men
In this late hour of need
