Our God! Our God!
Thou shinest here,
Thine own this latter day:
|: To us Thy radiant steps appear;
We watch Thy glorious way.
:|
Not only olden ages felt
The presence of the Lord;
|: Not only with the fathers dwelt
Thy Spirit and Thy word.
:|
Doth not the Spirit still descend
And bring the heavenly fire?
|:Doth not He still Thy Church extend,
And waiting souls inspire?
:|
Come, Holy Ghost, in us arise;
By this Thy mighty hour,
|: And make Thy willing people wise
To know Thy day of power.
:|
Bear us aloft,
more glad, more strong
On Thy celestial wing;
|: And grant us grace to look and long
For our returning King.
:|
He drawth near, He standeth by,
He fills our eyes, our ears;
|: Come, King of grace, Thy people cry,
And bring the glorious years.
:|
---Alternative verses---
Our God, our God,
Thou shinest here,
Thine own this latter day;
|: To us Thy radiant steps appear,
Here goes Thy glorious way! :|
We shine not only with the light
Thou sheddest down of yore;
|: On us Thou streamest
strong and bright
Thy comings are not o’er. :|
The fathers had not all of Thee,
New births are in Thy grace;
|: All open to our souls shall be
Thy glory’s hiding-place. :|
Thy comest near; Thou standest by;
Our work begins to shine;
|: Thou dwellest with us mightily—
On come the years divine! :|
