Hymn 90
L.M.
1. O Thou, at whose almighty word
The glorious light from darkness sprung,
Thy quickening influence afford,
And clothe with power the preacher's tongue.

2. As when of old, the waters flowed
Forth from the rock at thy command,
Moses in vain had waved his rod,
Without thy wonder-working hand.

3. As when the walls of Jericho,
Down to the earth at once were cast;
It was thy power that brought them low,
And not the trumpet's feeble blast.

4. Thus we would in the means be found,
And thus on thee alone depend;
O make the gospel's joyful sound
Effectual to the promised end.
