Lyrics

O God of all-re­deem­ing grace,
Hasten those lat­est, hap­pi­est days,
When Thy dis­persed shall be brought home:
Obedient to the Gos­pel word,
O let the peo­ple of our Lord
From earth’s re­mot­est cor­ners come!

With humble pray­ers and con­trite sighs,
A well-ac­cept­ed sac­ri­fice,
To Thee their souls and bo­dies give,
Thy per­fect will re­joice to prove,
And live the life of ho­ly love,
And on­ly for Thy glo­ry live!
