Great God, whose universal sway

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Lyrics: Great God, whose universal sway the known and unknown worlds obey, entrust the kingdom to your Son, extend his power, exalt his throne.

Like rain on meadows newly mown, so Christ shall send his influence down; the beauty of his grace distills like heavenly dew on thirsty hills. The saints shall flourish in his days, dressed in the robes of joy and praise; peace, like a river, from his throne shall flow to nations yet unknown.
