1. Hasten, Lord, the glorious time,
   When, beneath Messiah's sway,
   Every nation, every clime,
   Shall the gospel call obey.
   Mightiest kings his power shall own;
   Heathen tribes his name adore;
   Satan and his host o'erthrown,
   Bound in chains, shall hurt no more.

2. Then shall wars and tumults cease,
   Then be banished grief and pain;
   Righteousness and joy and peace,
   Undisturbed, shall ever reign.
   Bless we, then, our gracious Lord;
   Ever praise his glorious name;
   All his mighty acts record,
   All his wondrous love proclaim.
