Trials may be sanctified, And the soul in peace abide, Life will all be glorified-- When love shines in.

When earth’s vict’ries shall be won, And our life in heav’n begun, There will be no need of sun-- When love shines in. (Chorus) Used With Tune: [Jesus comes with pow'r to gladden]

Ainger Meter: Irregular Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:7-13 Lyrics: 1 God is working this purpose out, as year succeeds to year; God is working this purpose out, and the time is drawing near; nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be: when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west, where human feet have trod, by the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God: “Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.” 3 Let us go forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world. Let us all fight with sorrow and sin to set the captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 4 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed. Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed. Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.
