Author: Howard Chandler Robbins Hymnal: The Hymnbook #477 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Put forth O God Thy Spirit's might Lyrics: 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. Topics: Church, The; Fellowship; Heritage; Life Everlasting, The; Unity; Church, The Christian Fellowship Scripture: John 17:21 Tune Title: DUNDEE (FRENCH)
