<p>Awake, Thou Spirit, Who didst fire<br>
|
|
The watchmen of the Church’s youth,<br>
|
|
Who faced the foe’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’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>
