The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#1043

1043. God of the prophet's power!

1 God of the prophet's power!
God of the gospel's sound!
Move glorious on; send out thy voice
To all the nations round,
To all the nations round.

2 With hearts and lips unfeigned,
We bless thee for thy word;
We praise thee for the joyful news
Which our glad ears have heard.

3 O may we treasure well
The counsels that we hear,
Till righteousness and holy joy
In all our hearts appear.

4 Water the sacred seed,
And give it large increase;
May neither storms, nor rocks, nor thorns,
Prevent the fruits of peace.

5 And though we sow in tears,
Yet we at last shall come,
And gather in our sheaves with joy
At heaven's great harvest home.
