Lyrics

Eternal Lord! from land to land
Shall echo Thine all-glo­ri­ous name!
Till kingdoms bow at Thy command
And every lip Thy praise pro­claim.

Exalted high, on every shore,
The banner of the cross, unfurled,
Shall summon thousands to adore
The Sav­ior of a ransomed world.

Triumphant over every foe,
Their ransomed numbers shall move on,
To that blest world where sin or woe
Shall ne­ver mingle with their song.
