When, beneath Messiah's sway,
Every nation, every clime,
Shall the Gospel's call obey.
2 Mightiest kings His power shall own,
Heathen tribes His name adore ;
Satan and his host o'erthrown,
Bound in chains, shall hurt no more.
3 Then shall wars and tumults cease,
Then be banished grief and pain ;
Righteousness, and joy, and peace
Undisturbed shall ever reign.
4 Bless we, then, our gracious Lord I
Ever praise His glorious name !
All His mighty acts record ;
Ail His wondrous love proclaim
