O Spirit of the living God

163
					L.M.

1	O Spirit of the living God, 
	in all the fullness of Thy grace
	Where’er the foot of man hath trod, 
	Descend on our apostate race. 

2	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. 

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

4	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. 

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