�� ��James Montcomerv (17T1-18'.4).

O SPIRIT of the living God ! In all thy plenitude of grace, Where'er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race !

Give tongues of fire and hearts of love, To preach the reconciling word ;

Give power and unction from above Whene'er the joyful sound is heard.

Be darkness, at thy coming, light ;

Confusion, order in thy path ; Souls without strength inspire with might,

Bid mercy triumph over wrath.

Spirit of the Lord ! prepare All the round earth her God to meet :

Breathe thou abroad like morning air. Till hearts of stone begin to beat.

Baptize the nations ; far and nigh The triumphs of the cross record ;

The name of Jesus glorify.

Till every kindred call him Lord. 185
