Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Almighty Spirit, now behold
A world by sin destroyed:
Creating Spirit, as of old,
Move on the formless void,
Move on the formless void.
2. Give Thou the Word: that healing sound
Shall quell the deadly strife;
And earth again, like Eden crowned,
Bring forth the tree of life,
Bring forth the tree of life.
3. If sang the morning stars for joy,
When nature rose to view,
What strains will angel harps employ,
When Thou shalt all renew,
When Thou shalt all renew!
4. And if the sons of God rejoice
To hear a Savior’s name,
How will the ransomed raise their voice
To whom that Savior came,
To whom that Savior came!
5. Lo, every kindred, every tribe,
Assembling round the throne,
The new creation shall ascribe
To sovereign love alone,
To sovereign love alone! Used With Tune: NEWBOLD Text Sources: Songs of Zion, 1864; This is a shortened version of Montgomery's "Spirit of Power and Might, Behold"
