<p class="just">Coxe began writing these words on Good Friday, 1850, but did not finish them until the next year, at Magdalen College, Oxford, England. They were first published in <em>Verses for 1851, in Commemoration of the Third Jubilee of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel</em>, by Ernest Hawkins.</p>

<div class="lyrics">
<p>Savior, sprinkle many nations;<br>
Fruitful let Thy sorrows be;<br>
By Thy pains and consolations<br>
Draw the Gentiles unto thee!</p>
<p>Of Thy cross the wondrous story,<br>
Be it to the nations told;<br>
Let them see Thee in Thy glory<br>
And Thy mercy manifold.</p>
<p>Far and wide, though all unknowing,<br>
Pants for Thee each mortal breast,<br>
Human tears for Thee are flowing,<br>
Human hearts in Thee would rest.</p>
<p>Thirsting as for dews of even,<br>
As the new mown grass for rain<br>
Thee they seek as God of heaven,<br>
Thee as Man for sinners slain.</p>
<p>Savior, lo! the isles are waiting<br>
Stretched the hand and strained the sight,<br>
For Thy Spirit, new creating,<br>
Love&#8217;s pure flame, and wisdom&#8217;s light.</p>
<p>Give the word, and of the preacher<br>
Speed the foot and touch the tongue,<br>
Till on earth by every creature<br>
Glory to the Lamb be sung!</p>
