Revive Thy work, dear Lord!

1. Revive Thy work, dear Lord!
Thy mighty arm make bare;
Move in the hearts and wake the souls,
And make Thy presence dear.

Revive Thy work, dear Lord!
And manifest Thy power;
O come upon Thy church as in
The Pentecostal hour.

2. Revive Thy work, dear Lord!
Disturb this sleep of death;
Quicken the smouldering embers now
By Thine almighty breath.

3. Revive Thy work, dear Lord!
Create soul-thirst for Thee;
And hungering for the Bread of Life,
O may our spirits be!

4. Revive Thy work, dear Lord!
And give abounding joy;
O fill our hearts with perfect love,
And burn out all alloy!

5. Revive Thy work, dear Lord!
Repeat Thy deeds of grace;
Thy mighty name be magnified,
To Thee be all the praise.

Albert Midlane (1825-1909)

Would you be free from your burden of sin?

1. Would you be free from your burden of sin?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you o’er evil a victory win?
There’s wonderful power in the blood.

There is power, power, wonder-working power,
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power, wonder-working power,
In the precious blood of the Lamb.

2. Would you be free from your passion and pride?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Come for a cleansing to Calvary’s tide,
There’s wonderful power in the blood.

3. Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Sin-stains are lost in its life-giving flow,
There’s wonderful power in the blood.

4. Would you do service for Jesus your King?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you live daily His praises to sing?
There’s wonderful power in the blood.

Lewis Ellis Jones (1865-1936)

“Jesus, engrave it on my heart”

1. Jesus, engrave it on my heart,
That Thou the one thing needful art;
I could from all things parted be,
But never, never, Lord from Thee.

2. Needful art Thou to make me live;
Needful art Thou all grace to give;
Needful to guide me, lest I stray;
Needful to help me every day.

3. Needful is Thy most precious blood;
Needful is Thy correcting rod;
Needful is Thy indulgent care;
Needful Thy all-prevailing prayer.

4. Needful Thy presence, dearest Lord,
True peace and comfort to afford;
Needful Thy promise to impart
Fresh life and vigour to my heart.

5. Needful art Thou, my soul can say,
Through all life’s dark and thorny way;
In death Thou wilt most needful be,
When I yield up my soul to Thee.

6. Needful art Thou, to raise my dust
In shining glory with the just;
Needful when I in heaven appear,
To crown and to present me there.

Samuel Medley (1738–1799)
