Text: | Who but Thou, almighty Spirit |
Tune: | ALMIGHTY SPIRIT |
Composer: | Thomas Hastings (1784-1872) 1830 |
1 Who but Thou, almighty Spirit,
Can the heathen world reclaim?
Men may preach, but till thou favor,
Heathens still will be the same;
Mighty Spirit Witness to the Saviour's name;
Mighty Spirit, Witness to the Saviour's name.
2 Thou hast promised by the prophets,
Glorious light in latter days;
Come and bless bewildered nations;
Change our prayers and tears to praise;
Promised Spirit Round the world diffuse
Thy rays;
Promised Spirit, Round the world diffuse Thy rays.
3 All our hopes, and prayers, and labors,
Must be vain without thy aid;
But Thou wilt not disappoint us;
All is true that Thou hast said:
Gracious Spirit O'er the world Thy influence shed;
Gracious Spirit, O'er the world Thy influence shed.
