531 O Spirit of the living God

1 O Spirit of the living God, in all thy plenitude of grace, where'er the foot of man hath trod, descend on our apostate race.

2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love, to preach the reconciling word; give power and unction from above, whene'er the joyful sound is heard.

3 Be darkness, at thy coming, light; confusion, order in thy path; souls without strength inspire with might, bid mercy triumph over wrath.

4 Convert the nations! far and nigh the triumph of the cross record; the Name of Jesus glorify, till every people call him Lord.
