Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 373 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:17 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, 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. 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.

To those who seek you, you are good; to those who find you, all in all. 3 We taste you, ever-living Bread, and long to feast upon you still; we drink of you, the fountainhead, our thirst to quench, our souls to fill. 4 Our restless spirits yearn for you where'er our changeful lot is cast; glad when you smile on us anew, blest that our faith can hold you fast. 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay; make all our moments calm and bright! Chase the dark night of sin away; shed o'er the world your holy light!
