Author: William Cullen Bryant, 1794-1878 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #289 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O North, with all thy vales of green!
O South, with all thy palms!
From peopled towns and fields between
Uplift the voice of psalms;
Raise, ancient East, the anthem high,
And let the youthful West reply.
2 Lo! in the clouds of heaven appears
God's well-beloved Son;
He brings a train of brighter years;
His kingdom is begun.
He comes, a guilty world to bless
With mercy, truth, and righteousness.
3 O Father, haste the promised hour,
When at His feet shall lie
All rule, authority, and power,
Beneath the ample sky;
When He shall reign from pole to pole,
The Lord of every human soul:
4 When all shall heed the words He said
Amid their daily cares,
And by the loving life He led
Shall seek to pattern theirs;
And He, who conquered death, shall win
The nobler conquest over sin. Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions; Kingdom of Christ (See Missions) Progress and triumph of ; Missions (See also Kingdom of Christ) Languages: English Tune Title: MEIRINGEN
