With songs of grateful praise
Surround Jehovah’s seat;
The goodness of his ways
Through all the earth repeat;
His mercy rose ere time was known,
And from his throne eternal flows.
He bids his light arise,
And sends his gospel forth;
From east to west it flies,
And fills the south and north;
His mighty grace its power imparts,
And willing hearts its truth embrace.
Then far as isles extend,
To the vast ocean’s bound,
Let kings to Jesus bend,
And pour their offerings round;
Arabia raise the song divine,
And Afric join to exalt his praise.
Let India’s fertile shore
Its gifts and honours bring,
To hail the Saviour’s power,
To crown Immanuel King ;
Remotest lands their homage pay,
Till all obey his high commands.
