Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: O Spirit of the living God

I will pour out my spirit on all flesh. Act.2:17

1.  O Spirit of the living God,
   In all Thy plenitude of grace,
   Where'er the foot of man hath trod,
   Descend on our apostate race.

2. Give tongue of fire and hearts of love,
   To preach the reconciling word:
   Give pow'r and unction from above
   Whene'er the joyful sound is heard.

3. Be darkness, at Thy coming, light;
   Confusion order in Thy path:
   Souls without strength 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. f Baptize the nations; far and nigh
   The triumphs of the cross record;
   The name of Jesus glorify,
   Till every kindred call Him Lord.

Amen.
