398. PART 4.
“Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.”
1
God alone is King in Zion!
On his high and holy hill,
Low adoring, loftiest angels
Wait around to do his will,
While hosannahs
The celestial mansions fill.
2
Man alone, through all creation,
Dares his sovereign power disown;
Yet, through mercy full and flowing,
For our sins doth Christ atone!
Heavenly Father!
Turn to flesh our hearts of stone!
3
Days of glory lie before us;
Thou hast promis'd, it shall be!
Like the sun, from night emerging,
Preludes of that day we see!
Bless'd Immanuel!
Let all people turn to thee!
4
Let the world thy will accomplish;
Thee, to serve, is freedom true!
May the Turk, the Jew, the Heathen,
In thy name, all fulness view!
Spoil recover'd!
Let thy grace their hearts renew!
5
By thy might, Divine Redeemer!
Rend hell's adamantine chain!
O'er each soul, through every kingdom,
Sway thy sceptre; live and reign!
Let the nations
Turn from all their idols vain!
6
Through our hour of short probation,
Let thy will, O Lord, be done!
Time recedes, and death advances;
Ere our sands forbear to run,
Father! give us
Saving faith, in Christ, thy Son!
