- 1O Spirit of the living God,
- In all Thy plenitude of grace,
- Where'er the foot of man hath trod,
- Descend on our apostate race.
- 2Give tongues of fire and hearts of love,
- To preach the reconciling word;
- Give power and unction from above,
- Whene'er the joyful sound is heart.
- 3Be darkness, at Thy coming light;
- Confusion, order, in Thy path;
- Souls without strength inspire with might,
- Bid mercy triumph over wrath.
- 4Convert the nations! far and nigh
- The triumphs of the Cross record;
- The Name of Jesus glorify,
- Till every people call Him Lord.
