125 O Spirit of the living God!

1 O Spirit of the living God! In all the fullness of Thy 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, Where'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 O Spirit of the Lord! prepare All the round earth her God to meet; Breathe Thou abroad, like morning air, Till hearts of stone begin to beat. 5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh The triumphs of the cross record; The name of Jesus glorify, Till every kindred call Him Lord. 6 God from eternity hath willed All flesh shall His salvation see; So be the Father's love fulfilled, The Savior's sufferings crowned through Thee.
