<p>Awake, Thou Spirit, Who didst fire<br>
The watchmen of the Church&#8217;s youth,<br>
Who faced the foe&#8217;s envenomed ire,<br>
Who witnessed day and night Thy truth,<br>
Whose voices loud are ringing still<br>
And bringing hosts to know Thy will.</p>
<p>Lord, let our earnest prayers be heard,<br>
The prayer Thy Son hath bid us pray;<br>
For lo, Thy children&#8217;s hearts are stirred<br>
In every land in this our day<br>
To cry with fervent soul to Thee,<br>
Oh, help us, Lord! So let it be!</p>
<p>Oh, haste to help ere we are lost!<br>
Send preachers forth, in spirit strong,<br>
Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host,<br>
Bold to attack the rule of wrong;<br>
Let them the earth for Thee reclaim,<br>
Thy heritage, to know Thy Name.</p>
<p>And let Thy Word have speedy course,<br>
Through every land be glorified,<br>
Till all the heathen know its force<br>
And fill Thy churches far and wide.<br>
Oh, spread the conquest of Thy Word<br>
And let thy kingdom come, dear Lord!</p>
