- 1Arm of the Lord, awake! awake!
- Put on Thy strength! the nations shake!
- And let the world adoring see
- Triumphs of mercy wrought by Thee.
- 2Say to the heathen from Thy throne,
- I am Jehovah, God alone:
- Thy voice their idols shall confound,
- And cast their altars to the ground.
- 3Let Zion's time of favor come;
- Oh, bring the tribes of Israel home;
- And let our wondering eyes behold
- Gentiles and Jews in Jesus' fold.
- 4Almighty God, Thy grace proclaim
- In every clime, of every name;
- Let adverse powers before Thee fall,
- And crown the Savior Lord of all.
