Revive Thy Work, O Lord
Author: Albert Midlane (1825-1909) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 214 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 Lyrics: 1 Revive thy work, O Lord,
thy mighty arm make bare;
speak with the voice that wakes the dead,
and make thy people hear.
2 Revive thy work, O Lord,
disturb this sleep of death;
quicken the smouldering embers now
by thine almighty breath.
3 Revive thy work, O Lord,
create soul-thirst for thee;
and hungering for the bread of life
O may our spirits be.
4 Revive thy work, O Lord,
exalt thy precious Name;
and, by the Holy Ghost sent down,
our love for thee inflame.
5 Revive thy work, O Lord,
and give refreshing showers.
The glory shall be all thine own;
the blessing, Lord, be ours. Topics: Call and Vocation; Evangelism; Renewal Used With Tune: CARLISLE
Revive Thy Work, O Lord
Rain of Heaven
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:6 First Line: As show'rs on meadows newly mown Lyrics: 1 As show'rs on meadows newly mown,
Jesus shall shed his blessings down,
Crown'd with whose life infusing drops,
Earth shall renew her blissful crops.
2 Lands that beneath a burning sky,
Have long been desolate and dry,
Th' effusions of his love shall share,
And sudden greens and herbage wear.
3 The dews and rains, in all their store,
Drenching the pastures o'er and o'er,
Are not so copious as that grace,
Which sanctifies and saves our race.
4 As in soft silence vernal show'rs
Descend and cheer the fainting flow'rs,
So in the secrecy of love
Falls the sweet infl'ence from above.
5 That heav'nly infl'ence let me find
In holy silence of the mind,
While ev'ry grace maintains it bloom,
Diffusing wide its rich perfume.
6 Nor let these blessings be confin'd
To me, but pour'd on all mankind,
Till earth's wild wastes in verdure rise,
And a young Eden bless our eyes.
