Lyrics

O Lord, Thy work revive,
In Zion’s gloomy hour,
And make her dying graces live
By Thy restoring power.

O let Thy chosen few
Awake to earnest prayer;
Their covenant again renew,
And walk in filial fear.

Thy Spi­rit then will speak
Through lips of humble clay,
Till hearts of adamant shall break,
Till rebels shall obey.

Now lend Thy gracious ear;
Now listen to our cry;
O come and bring sal­va­tion near;
Our souls on Thee rely.
