The Welsh Revival - The 1904 Revival That Shook The Whole Earth

Each revival in time past had God’s unique signature and outpouring of the Holy Spirit. For example, in the Toronto outpouring in the nineties, the Father’s love and outpouring of joy characterized the move of God. The Welsh Revival in 1904, similarly, had God’s special imprint: the spontaneous outbreaks of singing, prayer, open repentance, and confession.Of this revival, Reverend W. T. Stead remarked, “Hitherto the revival has not strayed beyond the track of singing people. It has followed the line of song, not of preaching. It has sung its way from one end of South Wales to the other. But then the Welsh are a nation of singing birds.” Here was revival led not so much by the preaching of man but by the Spirit of God lavishly pouring out on all flesh. There were also no advertisements, posters, or huge tents, yet throngs of people flocked to church meetings from England, and even America to experience firsthand the mighty outpouring of God’s presence. The beginnings of the revival could be traced to church services where ministers like Joseph Jenkins and Seth Joshua sought to share their passion and encounters with the Lord. Simultaneously, long meetings were held to seek the Lord’s presence and empowerment, and many people were baptized with the Holy Spirit. Over the course of less than a year, the Lord moved in Wales, and the rest of the UK, capturing tens and hundreds of thousands of souls for the Kingdom.
1 Once more, O Lord, we pray,
Put Thy strong armor on;
Strike down the shield of Satan’s pow’r;
Let victory be won.
Refrain:
Once more, O Lord, once more
Thy blessing we implore;
In Thy great name let vict’ry sweep
Thro’ Zion’s gates once more.
2 Lord Jesus, come today;
Let souls before Thee bow;
Be this Thine hour of triumph, Lord;
Oh, send salvation now. [Refrain]
3 Lord Jesus, come and reign;
Let error’s empire fall;
We long to see Thy glory shine,
And crown Thee Lord of all. [Refrain]
