Isaiah 49:6: I will give Thee for a light to the Gentiles, &c

Father, Thou hast bestow'd
On man the' incarnate God:
Shining in our nature's night,
In our mortal flesh reveal'd,
Him, the true eternal Light
Earth's remotest ends beheld.

But will He not again
Appear on earth to reign?
Yes, the Light of Life Divine
All mankind shall soon receive,
Christ in every soul shall shine,
Christ in every heart shall live.

His name from east to west
Shall be by all confess'd;
Him America shall praise,
Asia recognise His power,
Reconverted Europe bless,
Afric's savages adore.

O that we now might feel
Thy Gift unspeakable!
Father, for Thy Son we wait:
Now Thy great salvation send,
Sole, immortal Potentate,
King of saints, till time shall end.
