1.

Hasten, Lord, the glorious time,

When, beneath Messiah's sway,

Every nation, every clime,

Shall the gospel call obey.

Mightiest kings his power shall own;

Heathen tribes his name adore;

Satan and his host o'erthrown,

Bound in chains, shall hurt no more.

2.

Then shall wars and tumults cease,

Then be banished grief and pain;

Righteousness and joy and peace,

Undisturbed, shall ever reign.

Bless we, then, our gracious Lord;

Ever praise his glorious name;

All his mighty acts record,

All his wondrous love proclaim.
