| 1 Eternal Spirit evermore creating, Throughout Thy living universe far-flung, Thy purpose throbs in pulses unabating, Thy glory by the morning star is sung-- Yet this fair earth is in the shadow waiting Where human hearts by bitterness are wrung! 2 O Thou in Whom a holy fullness dwelleth, Who hast the mystic fount of life within, Whose quickening Spirit where it listeth telleth How man may triumph over death and sin-- Flood Thou our souls, Thou presence purifying, Help us our battle for the right to win! 3 Lost in the maze of purposes contending, In the dark night of mortal strife and pain, Spread Thou the mantle of Thy love unending, Round the bewildered, and their way make plain! Gird those brave souls upon Thy will depending, Who rise to build the common weal again! 4 O Thou on Whom our human good dependeth, Who from the old hath been Thy people's stay, Whose bounty like the gentle rain descendeth, And like the dew is fresh from day to day, Quicken our spirits, as we wait expectant, That we may go in strength upon our way! | Churches of Christ Hymn Book #24 (1974) |
