Send down Thy truth, O God; Too long the shadows frown; Too long the darkened way we've trod: Thy truth, O Lord, send down. Send down Thy Spirit free, Till wilderness and town One temple for Thy worship be: Thy Spirit, O send down. Send down Thy love, Thy life, Our lesser lives to crown, And cleanse them of their hate and strife: Thy living love send down. Send down Thy peace, O Lord: Earth's bitter voices drown In one deep ocean of accord: Thy peace, O God, send down.
