Lyics

Arm of the Lord, awake! awake!

Put on thy strength, the nations shake,

And let the world, adoring, see

Triumphs of mercy wrought by thee.



Say to the heathen, from thy throne,

"I am Jehovah-God alone!"

Thy voice their idols shall confound,

And cast their altars to the ground.



No more let human blood be spilt,

Vain sacrifice for human guilt!

But to each conscience be applied

The blood that flow'd from Jesus' side.



Let Zion's time of favor come;

O bring the tribes of Israel home!

And let our wond'ring eyes behold

Gentiles and Jews in Jesus' fold.



Almighty God, thy grace proclaim

In ev'ry land, of ev'ry name!

Let adverse powers before thee fall

And crown the Saviour Lord of all.
