Alternate Tune:
O Lord our God, arise!
The cause of truth maintain,
And wide o’er all the peopled world
Extend Thy blessèd reign.
Thou Prince of life, arise!
Nor let Thy glory cease;
Far spread the conquests of Thy grace,
And bless the earth with peace.
Thou Holy Ghost, arise!
Expand Thy quick’ning wing,
And o’er a dark and ruined world
Let light and order spring.
All on the earth, arise!
To God the Savior sing;
From shore to shore, from earth to Heav’n,
Let echoing anthems ring.
