1  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!
