Send down Thy truth, O God;
Too long the sha­dows frown;
Too long the dark­ened way we’ve trod:
Thy truth, O Lord, send down.

Send down Thy Spi­rit free,
Till wil­der­ness and town
One tem­ple for Thy wor­ship be:
Thy Spi­rit, O send down.

Send down Thy love, Thy life,
Our less­er lives to crown,
And cleanse them of their hate and strife:
Thy liv­ing love send down.

Send down Thy peace, O Lord:
Earth’s bit­ter voices drown
In one deep ocean of ac­cord:
Thy peace, O God, send down.
