The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church ‎#318

318. Put Forth, O God, Thy Spirit's Might

1 Put forth, O God, Thy Spirit's might
And bid Thy Church increase
In breadth and length, in depth and height,
Her unity and peace.

2 Let works of darkness disappear
Before Thy conquering light;
Let hatred and tormenting fear
Pass with the passing night.

3 Let what Apostles learned of Thee
Be ours from age to age;
Their steadfast faith our unity,
Their peace our heritage.

4 O Judge divine of human strife!
O Vanquisher of pain!
To know Thee is eternal life,
To serve Thee is to reign.

Amen.
