Lyrics

Heav’nly Fa­ther, we Thy children,
Gathered round our ris­en Lord,
Lift our hearts in earnest pleading:
Oh, revive us by Thy Word!

Refrain

Send refreshing, send refreshing,
From Thy presence, gracious Lord!
Send refreshing, send refreshing,
And revive us by Thy Word!

Gracious gales of heav’nly blessing
In Thy love to us afford;
Let us feel Thy Spi­rit’s presence,
Oh, revive us by Thy Word!

Refrain

Weak and weary in the conflict,
Wrestling not with flesh and blood,
Help us, Lord, as faint we falter,
Oh, revive us by Thy Word!

Refrain

With Thy strength, O Mas­ter, gird us;
Be our guide, and be our guard:
Fill us with Thy Ho­ly Spi­rit;
Oh, revive us by Thy Word!
