<p>Eternal Father, Thou hast said<br>
|
|
That Christ all glory shall obtain;<br>
|
|
That He Who once a suff’rer bled<br>
|
|
Shall o’er the world a conqu’ror reign.</p>
|
|
<p>We wait Thy triumph, Savior King,<br>
|
|
Long ages have prepared Thy way;<br>
|
|
Now all abroad Thy banner fling,<br>
|
|
Set time’s great battle in array.</p>
|
|
<p>Thy hosts are mustered to the field;<br>
|
|
“The Cross! the Cross!” the battle call;<br>
|
|
The old grim towers of darkness yield,<br>
|
|
And soon shall totter to their fall.</p>
|
|
<p>On mountain tops the watch fires glow,<br>
|
|
Where scattered wide the watchmen stand;<br>
|
|
Voice echoes voice, and onward flow<br>
|
|
The joyous shouts from land to land.</p>
|
|
<p>Oh, fill the Church with faith and power!<br>
|
|
Bid her long nights of weeping cease;<br>
|
|
To groaning nations haste the hour<br>
|
|
Of life and freedom, light and peace.</p>
|
|
<p>Come, Spirit, make Thy wonders known,<br>
|
|
Fulfill the Father’s high decree;<br>
|
|
Then earth, the might of hell o’er thrown,<br>
|
|
Shall keep her last great jubilee.</p>
