Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #288a (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God,
In all Thy plenitude of grace,
Where'er 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,
Whene'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 Convert the nations! far and nigh,
The triumphs of the cross record;
The Name of Jesus glorify,
Till every people call Him Lord.
Amen. Topics: The Clergy Languages: English Tune Title: [O Spirit of the living God]
