AD ASTRA: 178 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: THE LORD SHALL BE THE GOD OF THE WHOLE EARTH!
Last Line: THE NIGHT OF DOUBT AND DISCORD PASS AWAY.
Subject(s): GOD; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

The Lord shall be the God of the whole Earth!
Lo, now His Light illumines every shore!
All sects and creeds acclaim the Saviour's birth,
And hail Him King of Kings for evermore!
The multitude of the Isles shall Him adore!
Till in the fulness of the perfect day
The night of doubt and discord pass away.
