Text:Our country's voice is pleading

36. Our country's voice is pleading

1 Our country’s voice is pleading,
Ye men of God, arise!
His providence is leading,
the land before you lies.

2 Day-gleams o’er it brightening,
and promise clothes the soil;
wide fields, for harvest whitening,
invite the reaper’s toil.

3 Go where the waves are breaking
on California’s shore,
Christ’s precious Gospel taking,
more rich than golden ore;

4 On Allegheny’s mountains,
through all the Western vale,
beside Missouri’s fountains,
rehearse the wondrous tale.

5 The love of Christ unfolding,
speed on from East to West,
till all, this cross beholding,
in Him are fully blest.

6 Great Author of salvation,
haste, haste the glorious day,
when we, a ransomed nation,
Thy scepter shall obey.
