Hymns for Second Advent Believers 33
ALMIGHTY LOVE INSPIRE
1ALMIGHTY love inspire
My soul with sacred fire,
And animate desire,
To worship and adore.
Come then my blessed Saviour,
Vouchsafe to me thy favor,
To dwell with thee for ever,
When time shall be no more.
RefrainAnd O give him glory,
And O give him glory,
And O give him glory,
For glory is his own;
Yes you may give him glory,
And I will give him glory,
We'll shout and hive him glory,
When we arrive at home.
2See yonder is the glory,
It lies but just before me,
And there we'll tell the story
Of all redeeming love:
And there we shall for ever
Drink of the flowing river,
And with the saints for ever
Surround the throne of love.
And O give him glory, &c.
