about

Edwin Orr noted that the 1859 revival made a greater impact on Ireland than anything known since Patrick brought Christianity there. Through the work of God in the hearts of four new converts who were moved to seek God in prayer, 100,000 souls came to Christ in one year. This is the extraordinary story of this stirring, reviving and outpouring of the Spirit of God that came to be known as 'The 1859 Ulster Revival.'

lyrics

Great multitudes gathered all around
From North Antrim to the south of Down
Many places could not hold the crowds
Some moved the meetings outside

Folk cried in the streets, some bowed in their homes
Others struck with awe like they had never known
Mothers seen sons and daughters come home
Declaring a peace in their soul
God gave them peace in their souls

Come and revive like 1859
Move through this land
How we need you now

The pubs were empty, the pews were full
Prayers rang out from the playgrounds of the schools
Workers and friends seen men they once knew
Touched by the Lord and they were renewed
Showered by the grace that fell like the dew

Lord send rain, Lord send change
Come Lord send, come Lord send revival
