Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Church Book #300 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God!
In all Thy plenitude of grace,
Wherever the foot of man hath trod,
Descend on our apostate 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 Be darkness, at Thy coming light;
Confusion, order, in Thy path;
Souls without strength inspire with might;
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.
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 through Thee. Topics: The Church Missions; Whit-Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL
