Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #125 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 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.
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.
