HASTEN, LORD, THE GLORIOUS TIME
"The Lord will hasten it in His time." Isaiah 60:22
Words: Harriet Auber, Spirit of the Psalms, 1829.
Music: "Eltham," Lowell Mason, Carmina Sacra, second edition, 1841.
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.
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.
