The Spirit of the Lord Revealed

1The Spirit of the Lord revealed His will to saints of old; Their heart and mind and lips unsealed His glory to unfold.

RefrainAmid the gloom of ancient night They hailed the dawning Word, And He, the twilight over past, Him-self, the Light of way; To us the word of life impart, Or Christ, the living way; And in the coming of the light Proclaimed the coming Lord. As man with man, revealed at last The Father to obey. Give us the quiet, humble heart To hear and to obey.
