Sov'reign of worlds above,
And Lord of all below.
Thy faithfulness and love.
Thy pow'r and mercy show:
Fulfil thy word;
Thy Spirit give;
Let heathens live
And praise the Lord.
On lands that lie beneath
Foul superstition's sway,
Whose horrid shades of death
Admit no heav'nly ray.
Blest spirit! shine,
Their hearts illume;
Dispel the gloom
With light divine.
Father, who to thy Son
Thy steadfast word hast giv'n,
That thro' the earth shall run
The news of peace with heav'n,
Extend his fame;
Thy grace diffuse;
And let the news
The world reclaim.
Few be the years that roll,
Ere all shall worship thee;
The travail of his soul,
Soon let the Saviour see;
O God of grace!
Thy pow'r employ.
Fill earth with joy,
And heav'n with praise.
