I, the Lord, will hasten it in his time.
Isaiah 60:22.
Hasten, Lord! the glorious time,
When, beneath Messiah’s sway,
Every nation, every clime,
Shall the gospel call obey.
2 Mightiest kings his power shall own,
Heathen tribes his name adore;
Satan and his host, o’erthrown,
Bound in chains shall hurt no more.
3 Then shall wars and tumults cease,
Then be banished grief and pain;
Righteousness, and joy, and peace,
Undisturbed shall ever reign.
4 Bless we, then, our gracious Lord!
Ever praise his glorious name;
All his mighty acts record,
All his wondrous love proclaim.
