10. O Spirit of the living God

1 O Spirit of the living God,
In all Thy plenitude of grace,
Where’er the foot of man hath trod,
Descend on our fallen race.

2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love,
To preach the reconciling Word;
Give power and unction from above,
Where’er the joyful sound is heard.

3 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare
A sinful world her God to meet;
Breathe Thou abroad like morning air,
Till hearts of stone begin to beat.

4 Baptize the nations; far and nigh
The triumphs of the cross record:
The name of Jesus glorify,
Till every kindred call Him Lord.

5 God from eternity hath willed,
All flesh shall His salvation see;
So be the Father's love fulfilled,
The Saviour's sufferings crowned thro' Thee.
