1 Lord of all power and might,
Father of love and light,
Speed on Thy word!
O let the gospel sound
All the wide world around,
Wherever man is found!
God speed His word!

2 Hail, blessèd Jubilee!
Thine, Lord, the glory be;
Hallelujah!
Thine was the mighty plan;
From Thee the work began;
Away with praise of man!
Glory to God!

3 Lo, what embattled foes,
Stern in their hate, oppose
God’s holy word!
One for His truth we stand,
Strong in His own right hand,
Firm as a martyr-band:
God shield His word!

4 Onward shall be our course,
Despite of fraud or force;
God is before.
His words ere long shall run
Free as the noonday sun;
His purpose must be done:
God bless His word!

AMEN.
