Revive your church, O Lord

Revive your church, O Lord,
in grace and power draw near;
speak with the voice that wakes the dead,
and make your people hear!

2. Revive your church, O Lord,
disturb the sleep of death;
give life to smouldering embers now
by your almighty breath.

3. Revive your church, O Lord,
exalt your precious name;
and, by your Holy Spirit, come
and set our love aflame.

4. Revive your church, O Lord,
give us soul-thirst for you,
a hunger for the bread of life
our spirits to renew.

5. Revive your church, O Lord,
and bless to all your word;
so let its pure and sacred truth
in living faith be heard.

6. Revive your church, O Lord,
and let your power be shown;
the gifts and graces shall be ours,
the glory yours alone!
