- 1Assembled at thy great command,
- Before thy face, dread King, we stand:
- The voice that marshaled every star
- Has called thy people from afar.
- 2We meet through distant lands to spread
- The truth for which the martyrs bled;
- Along the line--to either pole--
- The anthem of thy praise to roll.
- 3Our prayers assist; accept our praise;
- Our hopes revive; our courage raise;
- Our counsels aid; to each impart
- The single eye, the faithful heart.
- 4Forth with thy chosen heralds come;
- Recall the wandering spirits home:
- From Zion's mount send forth the sound,
- To spread the spacious earth around.
