Lord, speak Thy Word, upon us breathe;

Behold, dry bones fill all the earth

In graves and scattered 'round in death;

   Lord, speak and breathe upon us!

 2 

Lord, speak Thy Word, upon us breathe,

Revive the bones with quickening breath,

That we may leave our graves, our death;

   Lord, speak and breathe upon us!

 3 

Lord, speak Thy Word, upon us breathe,

Thy people all to make alive,

A mighty host, the foe to drive;

   Lord, speak and breathe upon us!

 4 

Lord, speak Thy Word, upon us breathe,

That all Thy people may be one,

Led by the headship of the Son;

   Lord, speak and breathe upon us!

 5 

Lord, speak Thy Word, upon us breathe,

Thy people fitly frame with grace

To be Thy rest, Thy dwelling-place;

   Lord, speak and breathe upon us!

 6 

Lord, speak to me, upon me breathe,

Revive me, in Thy Body build,

No more secluded and self-willed;

   Breathe now, O Lord, upon me!

 7 

Lord, speak to me, upon me breathe,

That with Thy saints the foe I'll fight,

That in Thy house Thou may delight,

   Breathe now, O Lord, upon me!
