LyicsWITH 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
His truth embrace.
Then far as isles extend,
To the vast ocean's bound,
Let kings to Jesus bend,
And pour their off'rings round;
Arabia, raise
The songs divine;
And Afric, join
T' exalt his praise.
Let India's fertile shore
Its gifts and honors brings,
To hail the Saviour's power,
To crown Immanuel, King;
Remotest lands
The homage pay,
Till all obey
His high commands.
