Revive your church, O Lord (Revive thy work, O Lord)

1 Revive your church, O Lord,
in grace and power draw near;
speak with the voice that wakes the dead,
and make your people hear!

2 Revive your church, O Lord,
disturb the sleep of death;
give life to smouldering embers now
by your almighty breath.

3 Revive your church, O Lord,
exalt your precious name;
and by your Holy Spirit come
and set our love aflame.

4 Revive your church, O Lord,
give us a thirst for you,
a hunger for the bread of life
our spirits to renew.

5 Revive your church, O Lord,
and let your power be shown:
the gifts and graces shall be ours,
the glory yours, alone!
