Hast thou not said, almighty God,
The humble heart is thine abode?
Erect thy kingdom, Lord, within,
And let thy grace subdue our sin.
To distant lands thy gospel send,
And thus thy empire wide extend;
To Gentile, Turk, and stubborn Jew,
Great King of grace, salvation show.
Where’er thy light and sun arise,
Thy name, O God, immortalize!
May nations yet unborn confess
Thy wisdom, pow’r, and righteousness.
