Father, is not thy promise pledg’d
To thine exalted Son,
That thro’ the nations of the earth,
Thy word of life shall run?
“Ask, and I give the heathen lands,
For thine inheritance;
And to the world’s remotest shores,
Thine empire shall advance.”
Hast thou not said the blinded Jews
Shall their Redeemer own;
While Gentiles to his standard crowd,
And bow before his throne?
Are not all kingdoms, tribes, and tongues,
Under th’ expanse of heaven,
To the dominion of thy Son,
Without exception giv’n?
From east to west, from north to south,
Then be his name ador’d!
Europe, with all thy millions, shout
Hosannas to thy Lord!
Asia and Africa resound
From shore to shore his fame;
And thou, America, in songs,
Redeeming love proclaim!
