Great God, the Nations of the Earth

 

VERSE 1

Great God, the nations of the earth,

Are by creation Thine;

And in Thy works, by all beheld,

Thy radiant glories shine.

 

VERSE 2

But, Lord, Thy greater love has sent

Thy Gospel to mankind,

Unveiling what rich stores of grace

Are treasured in Thy mind.

 

VERSE 3

When, Lord, shall these glad tidings spread

The spacious earth around,

Till every tribe and every soul

Shall hear the joyful sound?

 

VERSE 4

Smile, Lord, on each divine attempt

To spread the Gospel’s rays,

And build on sin’s demolished throne

The temples of Thy praise.
