218. O Lord our God! arise

1 O Lord our God! arise;
The cause of truth maintain,
And wide all o'er the peopled world
Extend her blessèd reign.

2 Thou Prince of life! arise,
Nor let Thy glory cease;
Far spread the conquests of Thy grace,
And bless the earth with peace.

3 O Holy Spirit! rise,
Expand Thy heavenly wing,
And o'er a dark and ruin'd world
Let light and order spring.

4 Oh, all ye nations! rise,
To God the Saviour sing;
From shore to shore, from earth to heaven,
Let echoing anthems ring.
