Recorded sermons of Joel Walkley, preached at St. Luke's United Church of Christ in Timberville, VAI’m not a prophet, but I am named after one. Joel was a Hebrew prophet whose name means “Yahweh is God.” Found in the Bible between Hosea and Amos, he was a man who called for repentance among people who were hopefully awaiting The Day of The Lord. He is my very humbling namesake. sermon, preaching, bible, church, homily, Sunday, scripture Joel Walkley Joel Walkley joel.walkley@gmail.com no no Revive Us Againhttp://theprophetjoel.com/2011/04/revive-us-again/ http://theprophetjoel.com/2011/04/revive-us-again/#comments Thu, 14 Apr 2011 12:00:17 +0000 Joel http://theprophetjoel.com/?p=1388 I sang this hymn for the first time about a month ago at St. Luke’s (Favorite Hymns of Praise #268), and when our musicians learned how much I enjoyed it we’ve sung it three more times since then. Below is the best arrangement I could find on YouTube. A note to others: less is more! This hymn just needs a single acoustic instrument to really shine.

I think the refrain would serve as a great Gospel Acclamation.

(Lyrics from CyberHymnal.com)

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.

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

Refrain

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

Refrain

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

Refrain

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

Refrain
