O Lord, Thy work revive,
In Zion’s gloomy hour;
And make her dying graces live
By Thy restoring power.
Awake Thy chosen few
To fervent earnest prayer;
Again may they their vows renew,
Thy blesséd presence share.
Thy Spirit then will speak
Through lips of feeble clay;
And hearts of adamant will break,
And rebels will obey.
Lord, lend Thy gracious ear;
Oh, listen to our cry;
Oh come, and bring salvation here:
Our hopes on Thee rely.
---Alternative verses---
Awake Thy chosen few
To fervent earnest prayer;
Again their sacred vows renew,
Thy blesséd presence share.
O let Thy chosen few
Awake to earnest prayer;
Their covenant again renew,
And walk in filial fear.
Thy Spirit then will speak
Through lips of humble clay,
Till hearts of adamant shall break,
Till rebels shall obey.
Now lend Thy gracious ear;
Now listen to our cry;
O come and bring salvation near;
Our souls on Thee rely.
