Almighty Spirit, Now Behold

 

VERSE 1

Almighty Spirit, now behold

A world by sin destroyed:

Creating Spirit, as of old,

Move on the formless void,

Move on the formless void.

 

VERSE 2

Give Thou the Word: that healing sound

Shall quell the deadly strife;

And earth again, like Eden crowned,

Bring forth the tree of life,

Bring forth the tree of life.

 

VERSE 3

If sang the morning stars for joy,

When nature rose to view,

What strains will angel harps employ,

When Thou shalt all renew,

When Thou shalt all renew!

 

VERSE 4

And if the sons of God rejoice

To hear a Savior’s Name,

How will the ransomed raise their voice

To whom that Savior came,

To whom that Savior came!

 

VERSE 5

Lo, every kindred, every tribe,

Assembling round the throne,

The new creation shall ascribe

To sovereign love alone,

To sovereign love alone!
