On all the earth Thy Spirit shower;
The earth in righteousness renew;
Thy kingdom come, and hell�s o�erpower,
And to Thy scepter all subdue.
Like
mighty winds, or torrents fierce,
Let it opposers all o�errun;
And every law of sin reverse,
That faith and love may make all one.
Yea, let Thy Spirit in every place
Its richer energy declare;
While lovely tempers, fruits of grace,
The kingdom of Thy Christ prepare.
Grant this, O holy God and true!
The ancient seers Thou didst inspire;
To us perform the promise due;
Descend, and crown us now with fire!
