That mighty angel, to whose hand
The everlasting word is giv'n.
Waves his broad wing o'er sea and land.
And soaring, cleaves the vault of heav'n.
And say—shall aught oppose his flight?—
Aught dim with clouds his flaming scroll?
No!—not till truth with holy light
Shall visit ev'ry heathen soul:
Not till blest Peace shall spring to birth;
Till hatred sheath his useless sword;
Not till the nations of the earth
Become the kingdoms of the Lord.
