Ye distant lands, and nations near,
Behold your Saviour God;
The joyful news attentive hear,
And spread it all abroad.
His opening lips and outstretched arms
Invite you near his seat,
Whilst on his face unnumbered charms
In full perfection meet.
Let Israel now adore their Lord,
His love their thoughts employ;
The promise left on long record
Shall yield abundant joy.
In righteousness have I declared,
The word shall not return,
I will be honoured, loved and feared,
Through mine anointed Son.
Then look to me, and be ye saved,
Through earth’s remotest bound;
By sins and idols now enslaved,
In me your help is found.
