Behold, the heathen waits to know
The joy the Gospel will bestow;
The exiled captive, to receive
The freedom Jesus has to give.
Come, let us,
with a grateful heart,
In this blest labor share a part;
Our prayers and
offerings gladly bring
To aid the triumphs of our King.
Our hearts exult
in songs of praise
That we have seen
these latter days
When our Redeemer
shall be known
Where Satan long
hath held his throne.
Where’er His hand
hath spread the skies
Sweet incense to
His Name shall rise;
And slave and freeman,
Greek and Jew,
By sovereign grace
be formed anew.
