Lyics

SOVEREIGN of worlds! display thy power,

Be this thy Zion's favored hour:

Oh bid the morning-star arise,

Oh point the heathen to the skies.



Set up thy throne where Satan reigns,

In western wilds, and heathen plains,

Far let the gospel's sound be known;

Make thou the universe thine own.



Speak! and the world shall hear thy voice:

Speak! and the desert shall rejoice:

Scatter the gloom of heathen night,

Bid every nation hail the light.
