We Long to Know Your Blessing

We long to know your blessing
O Lord, upon our land;
We long to know your mercy
Upon us where we stand.
For we are weak and sinful,
Our hearts are cold and sad.
And we can see no need for
Revival, life or God.

We long to know Your blessing
O Christ upon our church;
We long to know Your mercy
O light us like a torch
To shine bright in the darkness
Of this world's awful sin;
To show the sinner Jesus
Who makes him pure within.

We long to know Your blessing
Dear Christ, upon our souls;
We long to know Your mercy
Which only makes us whole.
For we are low and lifeless,
Our spirits need Your power;
O come and resurrect us
In this decisive hour.

O send Your Holy Spirit
Lord, Saviour, from above,
That He might overwhelm us
With Grace and Power and love.
Oh, do not turn away, Lord,
Oh, do not pass us by;
But come in and revive us,
Exalt us to the sky.
