| OUR God! our God! Thou shinest here | |
| Thine own this latter day: | |
| To us Thy radiant steps appear: | |
| We watch Thy glorious way. | |
| |
| Thou tookest once our flesh; Thy face | 5 |
| Once on our darkness shone; | |
| Yet through each age New Births of Grace | |
| Still make Thy glory known. | |
| |
| Not only olden ages felt | |
| The presence of the Lord; | 10 |
| 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 | 15 |
| And waiting souls inspire? | |
| |
| Come, Holy Ghost! in us arise; | |
| Be this Thy mighty hour! | |
| And make Thy willing people wise | |
| To know Thy day of power! | 20 |
| |
| Pour down Thy fire in us to glow, | |
| Thy might in us to dwell; | |
| Again Thy works of wonder show, | |
| Thy blessèd secrets tell! | |
| |
| Bear us aloft, more glad, more strong | 25 |
| On Thy celestial wing, | |
| And grant us grace to look and long | |
| For our returning King. | |
| |
| He draweth near, He standeth by, | |
| He fills our eyes, our ears; | 30 |
| Come, King of Grace, Thy people cry, | |
| And bring the glorious years! | |
