REVIVE Thy work, O Lord! Thy mighty arm make bare; Speak with the voice that wakes the dead And make Thy people hear.
Revive Thy work, O Lord! Disturb this sleep of death; Quicken the smouldering embers now By Thine almighty breath.
Revive Thy work, O Lord! Create soul-thirst for Thee; And hungering for the Bread of Life, O may our spirits be!
Revive Thy work, O Lord! And bless to all Thy Word! And may its pure and saving Truth In living faith be heard.
Revive Thy work, O Lord! Exalt Thy precious name; And, by the Holy Ghost, our love For Thee and Thine inflame.
Revive Thy work, O Lord! And give refreshing showers; The glory shall be all Thine own, The blessing, Lord, be ours.
Albert Midlane, 1825-1909
