Why I no longer pray for the ‘good old days’ of revival

A meeting during the Welsh Revival of 1904/5

William P. Mackay, the Scottish doctor and Presbyterian minister, penned one of my favourite hymns.

It begins: ‘We praise thee, O God, for the Son of thy love’. However, it is the chorus’ anthemic appeal to God that most evangelicals probably remember, which goes:

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.
Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory.
Revive us again.
