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!
