S.M. [1731]Swabia: Johann M. Spiess, 1745 Albert Midlane, 1858 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, 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. Amen. |
