Lord! send thy word, and let it fly,
Armed with thy Spirit's power;
Ten thousands shall confess its sway,
And bless the saving hour.
Beneath the influence of its grace,
The barren wastes shall rise,
With sudden flowers and fruits arrayed,—
A blooming paradise.
True holiness shall strike its root
In each regen'rate heart;
Shall in a growth divine arise,
And heavenly fruits impart.
Peace, with her olives crowned, shall stretch
Her wings from shore to shore;
No trump shall rouse the rage of war,
Nor murderous cannon roar.
Lord! for these days we wait;—these days
Are in thy word foretold;
Fly swifter, sun and stars! and bring
This promised age of gold.
Amen!—with joy divine, let earth's
Unnumbered myriads cry;
Amen!—with joy divine, let heaven's
Unnumbered choirs reply.
---Alternative verses---
Beneath the influence of its grace,
The barren wastes shall rise,
With sudden greens and fruits arrayed,—
A blooming paradise.
