Blessed be the boundless grace
Of our redeeming Lord,
Who sends his gospel from above,
And spreads it all abroad.
The gentile nations hear
The soul-reviving sound,
By them the Saviour now is sought,
By them the Saviour’s found.
To us this word is sent,
To us this light is given,
To guide our doubtful feet aright,
And show the path to heaven.
Distinctions now have ceased,
And men of every tongue
Participate of Abraham’s faith,
And join in Moses’s song.
Oh Lord, extend thy word,
Still let it wider spread,
Till heathen lands shall learn thy name
And own thee as their head.
