O Spir­it of the liv­ing God!
In all Thy ple­ni­tude of grace,
Where’er the foot of man hath trod,
Descend on our apos­tate race.

Give tongues of fire and hearts of love
To preach the re­con­cil­ing Word,
Give pow­er and unc­tion from above,
Whene’er the joy­ful sound is heard.

Be dark­ness, at Thy com­ing, light;
Confusion, or­der in Thy path;
Souls with­out strength in­spire with might;
Bid mer­cy tri­umph over wrath.

O Spir­it of the Lord! pre­pare
All the round earth her God to meet;
Breathe Thou abroad like morn­ing air,
Till hearts of stone be­gin to beat.

Baptize the na­tions; far and nigh
The tri­umphs of the cross re­cord;
The name of Je­sus glo­ri­fy,
Till every kin­dred call Him Lord.

God from eter­ni­ty hath willed
All flesh shall His sal­va­tion see;
So be the Fa­ther’s love ful­filled,
The Sav­ior’s suf­fer­ings crowned, through Thee.
