Lyrics to the hymn, Revive Us Again

 

Mountain view 


Introduction 

Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog; I hope that I can answer any questions that you might have.

Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn by William P. Mackay, Revive Us Again; he wrote it between 1863-1867, and it is now published in 1,231 hymnals.

I first heard it on Folksandhymns, and it is now one of my favorite hymns.

Now, on with the show, for lack of better words.

Snow, trees, and mountains 


        The Lyrics 

Verse 1 

We praise Thee, o God, 

For the Son of Thy love,

For Jesus who died 

And is now gone above.

Chorus

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.

Hallelujah! Amen.

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.

Revive us again!

Verse 2 

We praise Thee, o God,

For Thy Spirit of light,

Who hath shown us our Savior

And scattered our night.

Chorus

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.

Hallelujah! Amen.

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.

Revive us again!

Verse 3 

We praise Thee, o God, 

For the joy Thou hast giv'n

To Thy saints in communion,

These foretastes of Heav'n.

Chorus

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.

Hallelujah! Amen.

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.

Revive us again!

Verse 4 

All glory and praise

To the Lamb that was slain,

Who hath borne all our sins,

And hath cleansed every stain.

Chorus

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.

Hallelujah! Amen.

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.

Revive us again!

Verse 5

All glory and praise 

To the God of all grace,

Who hath bought us, and sought us,

And guided our ways.

Chorus

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.

Hallelujah! Amen.

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.

Revive us again!

Verse 6

Revive us again, 

Fill each heart with Thy love;

May each soul be rekindled 

With fire from above.

Chorus

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.

Hallelujah! Amen.

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.

Revive us again!

Road and trees

A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres.

The morning light,  The lily...
