Hasten, Lord! The Glorious Time
}
Hasten, Lord! the glorious time
When, beneath Messiah's sway,
Ev'ry nation, ev'ry clime,
Shall the gospel call obey.

Mightiest kings His pow'r shall own,
Heathen tribes His name adore;
Satan and his host o'erthrown,
Bound in chains, shall hurt no more.

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.
