- 1Our country’s voice is pleading,
- Ye men of God, arise!
- His providence is leading,
- The land before you lies;
- O’er it the day has brightened,
- And promise clothes the soil;
- Wide fields, for harvest whitened,
- Invite the reaper’s toil.
- 2The love of Christ unfolding,
- Speed on from east to west,
- Till all, His cross beholding,
- In Him are fully blest.
- Great Author of salvation,
- Haste, haste the glorious day
- When we, a ransomed nation,
- Thy scepter shall obey.
- 3Amen.
