Revive Thy Work

By Eliza H. Morton

ELIZA H. MORTON
REVIVE thy work, O Lord, we pray, 'Cast not aside. Our feet are wandering in a maze, Be thou our guide.
The days are growing short and dark, Thy coming near, A storm is gathering in the East, Hearts fail with fear.
The hosts of evil are abroad, Be thou a wall About thy people, and a hedge, Lest many fall.
The sparks men kindle will deceive Us with their glow, Unless the Spirit gives us power The truth to know.
Revive thy work within our hearts Till self is dead, And on the words of love and life Our souls are fed.
Come thou within, thy knock we hear, O welcome Guest! Thy presence leaves no place for sin, Or vague unrest.
Thy work will be revived when all Thy chosen stand As soldiers ready to obey Their King's command.
Our talents and our time and wealth To thee belong, O let thy Spirit do its work And make us strong!
North Deering, Maine.
