Wake, Spirit, who in times now olden

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #190 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Wake, Spirit, who in times now olden Didst fire the watchmen of the Church's youth, And them 'gainst ev'ry foe embolden, To witness day and night th'eternal truth, Whose voices through the world are ringing still, And bringing hosts to know and do Thy will: 2 Soon may that fire from heaven be lent us, That swift from land to land its flame may leap! Soon, Lord, that priceless boon be sent us Of faithful servants, fit for Thee to reap The harvest of the soul,--look down and view How great the harvest, but the laborers few. 3 Lord, to our earnest prayer now hearken, The prayer we offer at Thy Son's command; For, lo! while storms around us darken, Thy children's hearts are stirr'd in every land, To cry for help, with fervent soul, to Thee; O hear us, Lord, and speak: "Thus let it be!" 4 O speedily that help be granted! Send forth evangelists, in spirit strong, Armed with Thy Word, a host undaunted, Bold to attack the rule of ancient wrong, And let them all the earth for Thee reclaim, To be Thy kingdom and to know Thy name! 5 Grant that for which Thy people calleth! Send down Thy promised Spirit, Lord, in might, Before whom every barrier falleth, And let it thus at evening-time be light; O! rend the heavens, and make Thy presence felt, The chains that bind us at Thy touch would melt. 6 Let Zion's paths lie waste no longer, Remove the hindrances that there have lain, And let Thy Word go forth to conquer; Destroy false doctrine, root out notions vain, Set free from hirelings, let the Church and school Bloom as a garden 'neath Thy prospering rule.

Awake, O Spirit, Who Inspired

Author: Karl H. von Bogatzky, 1690-1774; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #567 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Awake, O Spirit, who inspired The watchmen of the Church's youth, Who faced the foe's envenomed ire, Who witnessed day and night your truth, Whose voices loud are ringing still And bringing hosts to know your will. 2 Lord, let our earnest prayer be heard, The prayer your Son taught us to pray; For lo, your children's hearts are stirred In ev'ry land in this our day, To you with fervent soul to plead, "Lord, help us in our time of need." 3 Oh, haste to help or we are lost! Send preachers forth in spirit strong, Armed with your Word, a dauntless host, Bold to attack the rule of wrong. Let them the earth for you reclaim, Your heritage, to know your name. 4 And let your Word have speedy course, Through ev'ry land be glorified, Till all the heathen know its force And fill your churches far and wide. Oh, spread the conquest of your Word And let your kingdom come, dear Lord! Topics: Missions; Missions Languages: English Tune Title: ALL EHR UND LOB
