1 O Spirit of the living God,
in all the fullness of Your grace,
wherever human feet have trod,
descend upon our fallen race.
2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love
to preach the reconciling word;
anoint with power from heaven above
whenever gospel truth is heard.
3 Let darkness turn to radiant light,
confusion vanish from your path;
souls without strength inspire with might:
let mercy triumph over wrath.
4 O Spirit of our God, prepare
the whole wide world the Lord to meet;
breathe out new life, like morning air,
till hearts of stone begin to beat.
5 Baptize the nations; far and near
the triumphs of the cross record;
till Christ in glory shall appear
and every people call Him Lord!
