Lyrics

Revive Thy work, O Lord!
Now to Thy saints appear;
O speak with power to every soul,
And let Thy people hear.

Refrain

Revive Thy work, O Lord!
While here to Thee we bow;
Descend, O gracious Lord, descend;
O come and bless us now.

Revive Thy work, O Lord!
Exalt Thy precious name,
And may Thy love in every heart
Be kindled to a flame.

Refrain

Revive Thy work, O Lord!
And bless to all Thy Word,
And may its pure and sacred truth
In living faith be heard.

Refrain

Revive Thy work, O Lord!
Give Pentecostal showers;
Be Thine the glo­ry, Thine alone
The blessing, Lord, be ours.
