Author: W. C. Bryant Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #74 (1920) Lyrics: 1 O North, with all thy vales of green,
O South, with all thy palms!
From peopled towns and vales between,
Uplift the voice of psalms;
Raise, ancient East, the anthem high,
And let the youthful West reply.
2 Lo, in the clouds of heaven appears
God's well-beloved Son;
He brings a train of brighter years
His kingdom is begun.
He comes, a guilty world to bless
With mercy, truth, and righteousness.
3 O Father, haste the promised hour,
When at His feet shall lie
All rule, authority, and power,
Beneath the ample sky;
When He shall reign from pole to pole,
The Lord of every human soul:
4 When all shall heed the words He said
Amid their daily cares,
And by the loving life He led
Shall seek to pattern theirs;
And He Who conquered death shall win
The mightier conquest over sin. Topics: The Christian Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: BRYANT
