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.
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.
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:
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.
