Hymn

Revive Thy Work, O Lord

Metre 6.6.8.6.

Revive Thy work, O Lord,

Thy mighty arm make bare;

Speak with the voice that wakes the dead

And make Thy people hear.

Revive Thy work, O Lord,

Disturb this sleep of death;

Quicken the smouldering embers now

By Thine almighty breath.

Revive Thy work, O Lord,

Create soul-thirst for Thee;

And hungering for the Bread of Life,

O may our spirits be.

Revive Thy work, O Lord,

Exalt Thy precious Name;

And, by the Holy Ghost, our love

For Thee and Thine inflame.

Revive Thy work, O Lord,

Give pentecostal showers;

The glory shall be all Thine own,

The blessing, Lord, be ours.

Amen.
