In Thy name, O blessed Saviour

Meter: 8.7.8.7.D. & Ref.

Scripture: Isa. 44:3

1

In Thy name, O blessed Saviour,

Gathered in this sacred place,

Here we seek a Father’s blessing,

Plead and pray for needed grace.

From the ocean of Thy fullness

Boundless, fathomless and free,

Let a tidal Wave come sweeping,

Setting hearts at liberty.

CHORUS

Lift the floodgate, Lift the floodgates,

Let the tide come sweeping in;

Blessed tide of full salvation,

Washing, cleansing from all sin.

2

Lift the floodgates, let salvation

In tremendous currents flow

To the uttermost fulfilling

Thy blest mission here below,

Until myriads of sinners,

Borne On love’s resistless tide,

Shall be swept into the kingdom

And believers sanctified.

3

It is coming, we believe it,

Thou dost hear and answer prayer;

It is coming, we shall see it,

Thine almighty arm made bare.

Tides of power, tides of glory,

Holy tides of perfect love,

Satisfying, overflowing,

Coming on us from above.
