1 We praise Thee, O God, for the Son of Thy love,
For Jesus who died and is now gone above.
Refrain:
Hallelujah, Thine the glory!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, Thine the glory!
Revive us again.
2 We praise Thee, O God, for Thy Spirit of light,
Who has shown us our Savior and scattered our night. [Refrain]
3 All glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain,
Who has borne all our sins, and has cleansed ev'ry stain. [Refrain]
4 Revive us again– fill each heart with Thy love;
May each soul be rekindled with fire from above. [Refrain]

Hymns for the Family of God
<idle musing>
I didn't grow up singing this hymn; it wasn't in any of the hymnbooks that our church used. It wasn't until I was a sophomore in college that I was exposed to it. And I immediately loved it and it's been one of my favorites ever since. Incidentally, it occurs in more than 1200 hymnals.
