Hymn "Restore in Us, O God" ST. THOMAS
Restore in us, O God,
the splendor of your love;
renew your image in our hearts,
and all our sins remove.
O Spirit, wake in us
the wonder of your pow'r;
from fruitless fear unfurl our lives
like springtime bud and flow'r.
Bring us, O Christ, to share
the fullness of your joy;
baptize us in the risen life
that death cannot destroy.
Three personed God, fulfill
the promise of your grace,
that we, when all our searching ends,
may see you face to face.
