Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCXCI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Father, is not thy promise pledg'd Lyrics: 1 Father, is not thy promise pledg'd
To thine exalted Son,
That thro' the nations of the earth
Thy word of life shall run?
2 "Ask, and I give the heathen lands
For thine inheritance,
And to the world's remotest shores
Thine empire shall advance."
3 Hast thou not said, the blinded Jews
Shall their redeemer own;
While Gentiles to his standard croud,
And bow before his throne?
4 Are not all kingdoms, tribes, and tongues,
Under th' expanse of heav'n,
To the dominion of thy Son
Without exception giv'n?
5 From east to west, from north to south,
Then be his name ador'd!
Europe, with all thy millions, shout
Hosannahs to the Lord!
6 Asia and Africa, resound
From shore to shore his fame;
And thou, America, in songs,
Redeeming love proclaim! Topics: Solemn Prayers, offered up for Jew, Gentile, and the Fulness of the Lost in Adam Scripture: Psalm 28:9 Languages: English
