Lyics

WITH 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 song divine,

And, Afric, join

T' exalt his praise.



Let India's fertile shore

Its gifts and honors bring,

To hail the Saviour's power;

To crown Immanuel King;

Remotest lands

The homage pay,

Till all obey

His high commands.
