O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling,
to tell to all the world that God is Light;
that he who made all nations is not willing
one soul should fail to know his love and might.

that God, in whom they live and move, is Love;

and died on earth that all might live above. (Refrain)

pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious
till God shall bring his kingdom's joyful day. (Refrain)

He comes again! O Zion, ere thou meet him,
make known to every heart his saving grace;
let none whom he hath ransomed fail to greet him,
through thy neglect, unfit to see his face. (Refrain)
