FOR THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT
Send down thy truth, O God!
Too long the shadows frown;
Too long the darkened way we 've trod:
Thy truth, O Lord, send down!
Too long the shadows frown;
Too long the darkened way we 've trod:
Thy truth, O Lord, send down!
Send down thy Spirit free,
Till wilderness and town
One temple for thy worship be:
Thy Spirit, oh, send down!
Till wilderness and town
One temple for thy worship be:
Thy Spirit, oh, send down!
Send down thy love, thy life,
Our lesser lives to crown,
And cleanse them of their hate and strife:
Thy living love send down!
Our lesser lives to crown,
And cleanse them of their hate and strife:
Thy living love send down!
Send down thy peace, O Lord!
Earth's bitter voices drown
In one deep ocean of accord:
Thy peace, O God, send down!
Earth's bitter voices drown
In one deep ocean of accord:
Thy peace, O God, send down!
