Let the Tide Come In

We thank Thee

Lord

that pow­er is flow­ing

Joy is coming

sor­row go­ing;

Thy ran­somed host is grow­ing

grow­ing

But may the tide come in.

Let the tide come in

let the tide come in;

Let the migh­ty flow be­gin

Let it sweep away our sin;

Oh

let the heav’n­ly tide come in!

O

let Thy cross win ev­ery na­tion;

Send the people Thy sal­va­tion!

Among them show Thy new crea­tion;

Oh

may the tide come in.

Life’s pre­cious hours are quick­ly fly­ing;

Men are dy­ing

ev­er dy­ing!

Thy plead­ing Church is cry­ing

cry­ing;

Now may the tide come in.

We praise Thee for the tid­ings cheer­ing

Signs of con­quest now ap­pear­ing;

The day of vic­to­ry is near­ing;

Thank God! the tide comes in.

Yes

the tide comes in

Yes

the tide comes in;

Oh

the migh­ty flow be­gins

And it sweeps away our sins!
