Lyrics
We praise thee, oh God
For the Son of thy love
For Jesus who died
And is now gone above
We praise thee, oh God
For that Spirit of light
Who has shown us our Savior
And scattered our night
Hallelujah! Thine the Glory
Hallelujah! Amen!
Hallelujah! Thine the Glory
Revive us again
All glory and praise
To the Lamb that was slain
Who hath borne all our sins
And hath cleansed every stain
Revive us again
Fill each heart with thy love
May each soul be rekindled
With fire from above
Hallelujah! Thine the Glory
Hallelujah! Amen!
Hallelujah! Thine the Glory
Revive us again
Hallelujah! Thine the Glory
Hallelujah! Amen!
Hallelujah! Thine the Glory
Revive us again
Revive Us
Hallelujah!

Meaning & Inspiration
“Revive Us Again” is a hymn of praise that looks back to God’s saving work and asks for renewed spiritual life. Its verses honor the Father for the Son, remember Jesus’ death and exaltation, and give thanks for the Spirit who brings light. The chorus answers each declaration with “Hallelujah,” joining gratitude to a repeated plea for revival.
The song’s language about the slain Lamb and cleansing from sin closely reflects New Testament descriptions of Christ’s sacrifice. Its request to be revived also resembles the prayer of Psalm 85:6, where renewed life leads God’s people to rejoice in him. In the final verse, revival is pictured not as excitement alone but as hearts filled with divine love and souls rekindled by fire from above. That progression gives the hymn a clear shape: praise for what God has done becomes dependence on what only God can continue to do, while every request remains anchored in the saving work already confessed.
