Text Based On 2 Thessalonians Chapter 3
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the
word of the Lord may have free course, and
be glorified, even as it is with you:
Awake, Thou Spirit
Awake, Thou Spirit, Who didst fire
Thy watchmen of Thy Church’s youth,
Who faced the foe’s envenomed ire,
Who witnessed day and night Thy truth,
Whose voices loud are ringing still
And bringing hosts to know Thine own will.
Lord, let our earnest prayers be heard,
The prayer Thy Son hath bid us pray;
For lo, Thy children’s hearts are stirred
In every land in this our day
To cry with fervent prayer to Thee,
Oh, help us, Lord and let it please Thee!
Oh, haste to help ere we are lost!
Send preachers forth, in spirit strong,
Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host,
Bold to attack the rule of wrong;
Let them the earth for Thee reclaim,
Thy heritage, to know Thy great Name.
And let Thy Word have speedy course,
Through every land be glorified,
Till all the heathen knows its force
And fill Thy churches far and wide.
Oh, spread the trumpet of Thy truth
And let Thy kingdom come, Oh dear Lord!
