Author: Edward Rowland Sill Hymnal: The Worshipbook #566 (1972) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Send down your truth, O God;
Too long the shadows frown!
Too long the darkened way we’ve trod:
Your truth, O Lord, send down.
2 Send down your Spirit free,
Till wilderness and town
One temple for your worship be:
Your Spirit, O send down.
3 Send down your love, your life,
Our lesser lives to crown,
And cleanse them of their hate and strife:
Your living love send down.
4 Send down your peace, O Lord,
Earth’s bitter voices drown
In one deep ocean of accord:
Your peace, O God, send down.
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day After Creed; Christian Year Pentecost; Other Observances Ecumenism; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances World Peace Scripture: Romans 8:6 Tune Title: AYLESBURY
