071423 Revival...

“Will You not bring us back to life again

 so that Your people may be happy in You?

Psa.85:6

 

Revival begins by Christians

Getting right first and then

Spills over into the world.

- Charles H. Spurgeon

 

A revival may be expected when

Christians have a spirit of prayer

For a revival. That is, when they

Pray as if their hearts were set

Upon it. When Christians have the

Spirit of prayer for a revival.

When they go about groaning out

Their hearts desire.

When they have real travail of soul.

- Charles Grandison Finney

 

It is better to wake up five hundred

Christians than to convert five

Hundred sinners, for if five hundred

Christians really wake up,

They will win more than five hundred

Sinners.

- Vance Havner

 

A revival does two things.

First, it returns the Church from her

Backsliding and second, it causes the

Conversion of men and women;

And it always includes the conviction

Of sin on the part of the Church.

What a spell the devil seems to cast

Over the Church today!

- Billy Sunday

 

Revive Us Again…

 

We praise Thee, O God!
For the Son of Thy love,
For Jesus Who died,
And is now gone above.

 

We praise Thee, O God!
For Thy Spirit of light,
Who hath shown us our Savior,
And scattered our night.

 

All glory and praise
To the Lamb that was slain,
Who hath borne all our sins,
And hath cleansed every stain.

 

All glory and praise
To the God of all grace,
Who hast brought us, and sought us,
And guided our ways.

 

Revive us again;
Fill each heart with Thy love;
May each soul be rekindled
With fire from above.

 

Refrain:
Hallelujah! Thine the glory.
Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory.
Revive us again.

 

- William P. Mackay 1863
