SPEAK in Thy power, our mighty God! For men conspire Thy church to harm; How proudly do they scorn Thy Word; O rend the heavens, make bare Thine arm!
As once the Canaanites of old Joined to oppose Thy will in wars, So unbelievers now make bold To fight against the Gospel cause.
Sharing no other ties beside, Against Thy Truth their ranks unite To keep souls from the Crucified And to eclipse His saving light.
Come rushing wind, the stubble chase; Come sacred fire, the forest burn; Come Holy Ghost, in conquering grace, Rebellious hearts to Jesus turn.
Move us the more His love to tell; Grant countless souls a saving view; Expose, refute the lies of hell, And show from Heaven—Thy Word is true!
