The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#353

353. Jesus, the Word Bestow

1 Jesus, the word bestow,
The true immortal seed;
Thy gospel then shall greatly grow,
And all our land o'er-spread;

2 Through earth extended wide
Shall mightily prevail,
Destroy the works of self and pride,
And shake the gates of hell.

3 Its energy exert
In the believing soul;
Diffuse Thy grace through every part,
And sanctify the whole;

4 Its utmost virtue show
In pure consummate love,
And fill with all Thy life below,
And give us thrones above.

AMEN.
