Author: William Williams Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #373 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 O'er the gloomy hills of darkness,
Cheered by no celestial ray,
Sun of Righteousness, arising,
Bring the bright, the glorious day;
Send the gospel
To the earth's remotest bounds.
2 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness,
Grant them, Lord, the glorious light;
And from eastern coast to western
May the morning chase the night,
And redemption,
Freely purchased win the day.
3 Fly abroad, thou mighty gospel,
Win and conquer, never cease;
May thy lasting, wide dominions
Multiply and still increase;
Sway thy sceptre,
Saviour, all the world around.
Amen. Topics: The Church Missions; The Church Growth of; Gospel Triumph of; Missions Scripture: Isaiah 9:2 Languages: English Tune Title: CORONAE
