|
<p>Lord, her watch Thy Church is keeping:<br>
|
|
When shall earth Thy rule obey?<br>
|
|
When shall end the night of weeping?<br>
|
|
When shall break the promised day?<br>
|
|
See the whitening harvest languish,<br>
|
|
Waiting still the laborers’ toil;<br>
|
|
Was it vain, Thy Son’s deep anguish?<br>
|
|
Shall the strong retain the spoil?</p>
|
|
<p>Tidings, sent to every creature,<br>
|
|
Millions yet have never heard:<br>
|
|
Can they hear without a preacher?<br>
|
|
Lord almighty, give the word!<br>
|
|
Give the word! in every nation<br>
|
|
Let the Gospel trumpet sound,<br>
|
|
Witnessing a world’s salvation,<br>
|
|
To the earth’s remotest bound.</p>
|
|
<p>Then the end! Thy Church completed,<br>
|
|
All Thy chosen gathered in,<br>
|
|
With their King in glory seated,<br>
|
|
Satan bound, and banished sing<br>
|
|
Gone for ever parting, weeping,<br>
|
|
Hunger, sorrow, death, and pain;<br>
|
|
Lo! her watch Thy Church is keeping;<br>
|
|
Come, Lord Jesus, come to reign!</p>
