- 1Hasten, Lord, the glorious time,
- When, beneath Messiah's sway,
- Every nation, every clime,
- Shall the gospel call obey.
- 2Mightiest kings His power shall own,
- Heathen tribes His name adore;
- Satan and his host, o'erthrown,
- Bound in chains, shall hurt no more.
- 3Then shall wars and tumults cease,
- Then be banished grief and pain;
- Righteousness and joy and peace
- Undisturbed shall ever reign.
- 4Bless we, then, our gracious Lord,
- Ever praise His glorious Name;
- All His mighty acts record,
- All His wondrous love proclaim.
- 5Amen.
