And pow'r to kill, and pow'r to save! Furnish'd their tongues with wondrous words, Instead of shields, and spears, and swords. 3 Nations, the learned and the rude, Were by these heav'nly arms subdu'd, The heathens saw thy glory, Lord! And, wond'ring, bless'd thy gracious word. 4 Come the great day, the glorious hour, When all shall feel thy saving pow'r, And the whole race of man confess The beauty of thy holiness!

Their hallelujahs loud proclaim, While with ecstatic joy they shout New honors to his sacred name. 5 From every kindred, every tongue, From barbarous nations long unknown, From polish'd Greeks and Scythians rude, A countless host surround the throne. 6 In robes of spotless white array'd, And palms of victory in their hand, With holy wonder and delight, The trophies of his grace they stand. 7 And still till time shall be mo more, The mighty concourse shall increase; And Jesus gain, in heathen lands, New subjects of the reign of peace.
