Almighty Spirit, now behold
A world by sin destroyed:
Creating Spirit, as of old,
|:Move on the formless void.:|
Give Thou the Word: that healing sound
Shall quell the deadly strife;
And earth again, like Eden crowned,
|:Bring forth the tree of life.:|
If sang the morning stars for joy,
When nature rose to view,
What strains will angel harps employ,
|:When Thou shalt all renew!:|
And if the sons of God rejoice
To hear a Savior’s Name,
How will the ransomed raise their voice
|:To whom that Savior came!:|
Lo, every kindred, every tribe,
Assembling round the throne,
The new creation shall ascribe
|:To sovereign love alone!:|
