Hymn
Revive Thy Work, O Lord
- Writer
- Albert Midlane
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.
