1.

In our deepest need and bondage,
How our hearts cry out to Thee.
God of mercy, send Thy Spirit;
From all sin, O set us free!

Chorus:

Glory, praise to Thee, God’s Lamb!
They will ne’er be put to shame
Who are trusting in God’s promise.
Glory, praise to Thee, God’s Lamb!

2.

As at Pentecost, O Spirit,
Fall upon us gathered now!
Give us gifts to help each other;
Fill each heart before Thee bowed!

3.

From the Holiest now floweth
Living waters like a flood.
Hearts are breaking forth in singing,
“O the Lord our God is good!”

4.

Like a mighty storm from heaven
Breaks the Holy Spirit through;
Satan’s bands are rent asunder,
And we sing a song so new.

5.

Songs of praise, like many waters,
Spring from hearts made pure and good.
And with heaven’s windows open,
Falls the latter rain from God!
