Transcribed syllable by syllable from the dated page image of Hymns New and Old, for Use in Gospel Meetings and Other Religious Services, comp. D. B. Towner (Chicago: Fleming H. Revell, 1887), no. 168 \u2014 archive.org item woldforus00town, leaf n176 \u2014 which is headed \"Revive us Again.\", carries the motto \"O Lord, revive Thy work.\"\u2014Hab. 3: 2, credits \"Rev. WM. PATON MACKAY, 1866.\" and prints all FIVE stanzas interlinear under the staves with the chorus once beneath the last system. The same plate was re-read on the independent 1887 scan archive.org hymnsnewoldforus00town, leaf n174, and the words were collated against the words-only printing in Gospel Hymns Consolidated, Nos. 1 to 4 (New York: Biglow & Main; Cincinnati: John Church, 1883), no. 25 \u2014 archive.org hymnsconso00blis \u2014 and against Tabernacle Hymns No. 2 (Chicago, 1921), no. 330, archive.org tabernaclehymnsn02chic leaf n317. US public domain by publication before 1929; every witness read here is itself pre-1931 and the author died in 1885, so it is also PD in life+70 jurisdictions. DEPARTURES FROM THE 1887 PAGE, ALL OF THEM STATED. (1) SPELLING: the 1887 plate sets stanza 2 as \"Thy Spri-it of light\" \u2014 a compositor's transposition; it is corrected here to \"Spirit\", which is what the 1883 words-only page and the 1921 Tabernacle Hymns plate both print. (2) DATE: this page credits the text \"1866\"; the 1883 words-only page credits \"Rev. Wm. Paton Mackay, 1868\", and 1863 is also commonly given. The page actually read is followed, and the variants are recorded here rather than silently reconciled. (3) STANZA 3 SYLLABLE SPLIT: the plate hyphenates only stanza 1 and sets stanzas 2-5 as whole unhyphenated words, so it does not say in print where \"cleansed every\" divides across its two notes; the horizontal extent of its own word-boxes would put the two-note box on \"cleansed\" (i.e. \"cleans-ed\") and a one-note box on \"every\", but the singable modern division \"cleansed / ev -- ery\" is adopted here instead. The slot count is the same either way. (4) The second and third \"Hallelujah\" of the chorus are printed \"Hal-lelu-jah\" and \"glory\" without their hyphens where the line is tight; those are typographic squeezes, not different words, and are set here as the full hyphenations. PUNCTUATION IS THE 1887 PAGE'S, including the exclamation point in \"O God!\", the semicolons in stanza 5 and after \"amen\", and \u2014 noted because it looks like an error and is not \u2014 the COMMA after the first \"Hallelujah\" of the chorus against the exclamation points on the second and third. The 1883 words-only printing instead reads \"Hallelujah! Thine the glory, Hallelujah! amen.\" with an exclamation point throughout and a full stop after \"amen\"; that variant is NOT adopted. The 1883 printing also lacks the word \"hath\" in stanza 3 (\"and cleansed every stain\"), which is one syllable short of this tune; the 1887 plate's \"and hath cleansed every stain\" is what is set here.", "pd_jurisdictions": {"US": true}}, "stanzas": {"1": {"syllabified": "We praise Thee, O God! for the Son of Thy love, For Je -- sus who died, and is now gone a -- bove.", "prose": ["We praise Thee, O God! for the Son of Thy love,", "For Jesus who died, and is now gone above."]}, "2": {"syllabified": "We praise Thee, O God! for Thy Spir -- it of light, Who has shown us our Sav -- iour, and scat -- tered our night.", "prose": ["We praise Thee, O God! for Thy Spirit of light,", "Who has shown us our Saviour, and scattered our night."]}, "3": {"syllabified": "All glo -- ry and praise to the Lamb that was slain, Who has borne all our sins, and hath cleansed ev -- ery stain.", "prose": ["All glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain,", "Who has borne all our sins, and hath cleansed every stain."]}, "4": {"syllabified": "All glo -- ry and praise to the God of all grace, Who has bought us, and sought us, and guid -- ed our ways.", "prose": ["All glory and praise to the God of all grace,", "Who has bought us, and sought us, and guided our ways."]}, "5": {"syllabified": "Re -- vive us a -- gain; fill each heart with Thy love; May each soul be re -- kin -- dled with fire from a -- bove.", "prose": ["Revive us again; fill each heart with Thy love;", "May each soul be rekindled with fire from above."]}}, "refrain": {"syllabified": "Hal -- le -- lu -- jah, Thine the glo -- ry, Hal -- le -- lu -- jah! a -- men; Hal -- le -- lu -- jah!
