ALL the world shall come to serve Thee And bless Thy glorious Name, And Thy righteousness triumphant The islands shall acclaim. And the peoples shall go seeking Who knew Thee not before, And the ends of earth shall praise Thee, And tell Thy greatness o'er. They shall build for Thee their altars, Their idols overthrown, And their graven gods shall shame them, As they turn to Thee alone. They shall worship Thee at sunrise, And feel Thy Kingdom's might, And impart their understanding To those astray in night. They shall testify Thy greatness, And of Thy power speak, And extol Thee, shrined, uplifted Beyond man's highest peak. And with reverential homage, Of love and wonder born, With the ruler's crown of beauty Thy head they shall adorn. With the coming of Thy Kingdom The hills shall break into song, And the islands laugh exultant That they to God belong. And all their congregations So loud Thy praise shall sing, That the uttermost peoples hearing, Shall hail Thee crownéd King. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SERMON AT CLEVEDON; GOOD FRIDAY by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN DREAMS (2) by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR IN THE NEOLITHIC AGE by RUDYARD KIPLING THE CITY IN THE SEA by EDGAR ALLAN POE THE MASTER BLACKSMITH by ARNOLD ANDREWS |
