Hymn 382
In Thy name, O blessed Saviour
Meter: 8.7.8.7.D. & Ref.
Scripture: Isa. 44:3
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.
Lift the floodgate, Lift the floodgates,
Let the tide come sweeping in;
Blessed tide of full salvation,
Washing, cleansing from all sin.
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.
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.
