LyicsFATHER, si not thy promise pledg'd
To thine exalted Son,
That through the nations of the earth
Thy word of life shall run?
Hast thou not said, the blinded Jews
Shall their Redeemer own;
While Gentiles to his standard crowd,
And bow before his throne?
When shall the untutor'd Indian tribes,
A dark bewilder'd race,
Sit down at our Immanuel's feet,
And learn and feel his grace?
Are not all kingdoms, tribes, and tongues,
Under th' expanse of heav'n,
To the dominion of thy Son,
Without exception giv'n?
From east to west, from north to south,
Then be his name ador'd!
Europe, with all thy millions shout
Hosannas to the Lord!
Asia and Africa, resound
From shore to shore his fame;
And thou, America, in songs
Redeeming love proclaim!
