1 Eternal Lord! from land to land
Shall echo Thine all-glorious name!
Till kingdoms bow at Thy command
And every lip Thy praise proclaim.
2 Exalted high, on every shore,
The banner of the cross, unfurled,
Shall summon thousands to adore
The Savior of a ransomed world.
3 Triumphant over every foe,
Their ransomed numbers shall move on,
To that blest world where sin or woe
Shall never mingle with their song.
