Hymn 433
O Spirit of the living God
1
O Spirit of the living God,
In all Thy plentitude 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 pow’r and unction from above
When’er the joyful sound is heard.
3
Be darkness, at Thy coming, light;
Confusion, order in Thy path:
Souls without, inspire with might;
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.
4
O spirit of the Lord, prepare
All the round earth her God to meet;
Breathe thou abroad, like morning air,
Till hearts of stone begin to beat.
5
Baptize the nations; far and nigh
The triumphs of the cross record;
The name of Jesus glorify,
Till every kindred call Him Lord.
