Hail to the millions from bondage returning! Gentiles and Jews the blest vision behold. 3 Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing, Streams ever copious are gliding along; Loud from the mountain tops echoes are ringing, Wastes rise in verdure, and mingle in song. 4 See, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean, Praise to the Saviour ascending on high; Fallen the engines of war and commotion, Shouts of salvation are rending the sky. Amen.

We give Thee but Thine own
