Come and see what God is do­ing:
His are works of pow­er and grace;
Round the world His Word is go­ing,
Giving light to ev­ery place.
’Tis a day ex­pect­ed long,
Theme of old pro­phet­ic song.

While the na­tions are con­tend­ing,
And the tu­mult loud­er grows;
Through the earth our God is send­ing
News of peace, to heal our woes.
Sounds of mer­cy sweet­er are,
Heard amid the din of war.

Long the na­tions were be­night­ed,
And the dark­ness has been still;
But the lamp that God has light­ed,
Now is set up­on a hill.
Many now en­joy the light,
And with rap­ture hail the sight.

Higher still and high­er place it:
Show it to the world around;
Never should we cease to raise it,
While a na­tion still is found,
One to whom it is not giv’n
To en­joy the light of Heav’n.
