1. O'er the gloomy hills of darkness, Look, my soul! be still and gaze; All the promises do travail With a glorious day of grace: Blessed jubilee! blessed jubilee! Let thy glorious morning dawn. | 2. Let the Indian, let the Negro, Let the rude barbarian see That divine and glorious conquest Once obtained on Calvary; Let the gospel, let the gospel, Loud resound from pole to pole. | 3. Kingdoms wide, that sit in darkness, Grant them, Lord, the glorious light, And from eastern coast to western May the morning chase the night: And redemption, and redemption, Freely purchased, win the day. | 4. May the glorious day approaching, On the grossest darkness dawn; And the everlasting gospel Spread abroad thy holy name— All the borders, all the borders, Of the great Emmanuel's land. | 5. Fly abroad, thou mighty Gospel, Win and conquer, never cease; May thy lasting, wide dominions Multiply and still increase; Sway the sceptre, sway the sceptre, Savior, all the world around. | |
