1 Thou only couldst, great Three in One,
Salvation’s scheme contrive,
Reveal a Savior to atone
And bid dead souls revive.
2 ’Tis Thine alone, O God of Love,
With our hard hearts to strive.
Make darkness from the mind remove,
And light and hope revive.
3 Be this, O Lord, a quickening hour,
Hell of its prey deprive,
Convert us by Thy sovereign power,
And Thy own work revive.
4 When pleasure’s wiles, or earth-born fear
Our souls to sin would drive,
Let Thy own light of truth appear
And our weak faith revive.
5 O Lord, the powers of death destroy
That with our sins connive;
Fill us with soul-exalting joy,
And Heav’n-born peace revive.
6 Jesus, our brother and high priest,
Is evermore alive.
By Him from guilt and and grief released
May we thro’ grace revive.
7 From strength to strength may we proceed,
Till all in Heav’n arrive;
And from each earthly trammel freed
Like Thy own self revive.
