Verse 1

On all the earth thy Spirit shower, The earth in righteousness renew: Thy kingdom come, and hell’s o’erpower, And to thy sceptre all subdue.

Like mighty winds, or torrents fierce, Let it opposers all o’errun; And every law of sin reverse, That faith and love may make all one.

Yea, let thy Spirit in every place Its richer energy declare; While lovely tempers, fruits of grace, The kingdom of thy Christ prepare.

Verse 4

Grant this, O holy God, and true; The ancient seers thou didst inspire! To us perform the promise due, Descend, and crown us now with fire!
