By A Collection of Hymns

      6-8s. Isaiah xlv. 22 &c.
      1 ETERNAL Lord of earth and skies,
      We wait thy Spirit's latest call:
      Bid all our fallen race arise,
      Thou who hast purchased life for all;
      Whose only name, to sinners given,
      Snatches from hell, and lifts to heaven.

      2 The word thy sacred lips has past,
      The sure irrevocable word,
      That every soul shall bow at last,
      And yield allegiance to its Lord;
      The kingdoms of the earth shall be
      For ever subjected to thee.

      3 Jesus, for this we still attend,
      Thy kingdom in the isles to prove;
      The law of sin and death to end,
      We wait for all the power of love,
      The law of perfect liberty,
      The law of life which is in thee.

      4 O might it now from thee proceed,
      With thee, into the souls of men!
      Throughout the world thy gospel spread;
      And let thy glorious Spirit reign,
      On all the ransomed race bestowed;
      And let the world be filled with God!
