Send Down Thy Truth, O God

Send down Thy truth

O God;

Too long the sha­dows frown;

Too long the dark­ened way we’ve trod:

Thy truth

O Lord

send down.

Send down Thy Spir­it free

Till wil­der­ness and town

One tem­ple for Thy wor­ship be:

Thy Spir­it

O send down.

Send down Thy love

Thy life

Our less­er lives to crown

And cleanse them of their hate and strife:

Thy liv­ing love send down.

Send down Thy peace

O Lord:

Earth’s bit­ter voices drown

In one deep ocean of ac­cord:

Thy peace

O God

send down.
