In Thy Name, O Blessed Saviour
"For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty." - Isa 44:3
VERSE 1
In Thy name, O blessed Saviour,
Gather'd in this sacred place;
Here we seek a Father's blessing,
Plead and pray for needed grace;
From the ocean of Thy fullness,
Boundless, fathomless and free;
Let a tidal wave come sweeping,
Setting hearts at liberty.
CHORUS
Lift the floodgates, lift the floodgates,
Let the tide come sweeping in;
Blessed tide of full salvation,
Washing, cleansing, from all sin.
VERSE 2
Lift the floodgates, let salvation
In tremendous currents flow,
To the uttermost fulfilling
Thy blest mission here below;
Until myriads of sinners,
Borne on love's resistless tide,
Shall be swept into the kingdom,
And believer's sanctified.
CHORUS
Lift the floodgates, lift the floodgates,
Let the tide come sweeping in;
Blessed tide of full salvation,
Washing, cleansing, from all sin.
VERSE 3
It is coming, we believe it,
Thou dost hear and answer prayer;
It is coming, we shall see it,
Thine almighty arm made bare;
Tides of power, tides of glory,
Holy tides of perfect love,
Satisfying, overflowing,
Coming on us from above.
CHORUS
Lift the floodgates, lift the floodgates,
Let the tide come sweeping in;
Blessed tide of full salvation,
Washing, cleansing, from all sin.
