Lyrics

Revive Thy work, O Lord!
Now to Thy saints ap­pear;
O speak with pow­er to ev­ery soul,
And let Thy peo­ple hear.

Refrain

Revive Thy work, O Lord!
While here to Thee we bow;
Descend, O gra­cious Lord, des­cend;
O come and bless us now.

Revive Thy work, O Lord!
Exalt Thy pre­cious name,
And may Thy love in ev­ery heart
Be kin­dled to a flame.

Refrain

Revive Thy work, O Lord!
And bless to all Thy Word,
And may its pure and sac­red truth
In liv­ing faith be heard.

Refrain

Revive Thy work, O Lord!
Give Pen­te­cost­al show­ers;
Be Thine the glo­ry, Thine alone
The bless­ing, Lord, be ours.
