Who but Thou, Almighty Spirit?

lyricist: Eriphus, 1821
Composer: William Monk, 1871

Who but Thou

al­migh­ty Spir­it

Can the hea­then world re­claim?

Men may preach

but till Thou fa­vor

Heathens will be still the same:

Mighty Spir­it

Witness to the Sav­ior’s name.

Thou hast pro­mised by the pro­phets

Glorious light in lat­ter days;

Come and bless be­wil­dered na­tions

Change our pray­ers and tears to praise:

Promised Spir­it

Round the world dif­fuse Thy rays.

All our hopes

and pray­ers

and la­bors

Must be vain with­out Thine aid:

But Thou will not dis­ap­point us;

All is true that Thou hast said:

Gracious Spir­it

O’er the world Thine in­flu­ence spread.
