Lyrics

Eternal Lord! from land to land
Shall ec­ho Thine all-glo­ri­ous name!
Till king­doms bow at Thy com­mand
And ev­ery lip Thy praise pro­claim.

Exalted high, on ev­ery shore,
The ban­ner of the cross, un­furled,
Shall sum­mon thou­sands to ad­ore
The Sav­ior of a ran­somed world.

Triumphant ov­er ev­ery foe,
Their ran­somed num­bers shall move on,
To that blest world where sin or woe
Shall nev­er min­gle with their song.
