Sovereign of worlds! Display Thy power;
Be this Thy Zion’s favoured hour;
O bid the morning star arise,
O point the heathen to the skies.
Set up Thy throne where Satan reigns,
In western wilds and eastern plains;
Far let the Gospel’s sound be known;
Make Thou the universe Thine own.
Speak, and the world shall hear Thy voice;
Speak, and the desert shall rejoice;
Dispel the gloom of heathen night;
Bid every nation hail the light.
---Alternative verses---
Sovereign of worlds! display thy power,
Be this thy Zion's favoured hour;
Bid the bright morning Star arise,
And point the nations to the skies.
Set up thy throne where Satan reigns,
On Afric's shore, on India's plains,
On wilds and continents unknown;
And be the universe thine own.
Set up thy throne where Satan reigns,
On Afric's shore, on India's plains,
On wilds and continents unknown;
And be the nations thine own.
Speak! and the world shall hear thy voice;
Speak! and the desert shall rejoice;
Scatter the gloom of heathen night.
And bid all nations hail the light.
