Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #504 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 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.
2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love
To preach the reconciling Word,
Give pow'r and unction from above
Where’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
A sinful world their 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.
6 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.
Amen. Topics: The Church Missions Scripture: Acts 2:3 Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE
