Send out Thy light and truth, O God

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: Send out Thy light and truth, O God! With sound of trumpet from above; Break not the nations with Thy rod, But draw them as with cords of love; Justice and mercy meet; The work is well begun, Through every clime their feet, Who bring glad tidings, run; In earth, as heaven, Thy will be done. Before Thee every idol fall, Rend the false prophet's veil of lies; The fulness of the Gentiles call, Be Israel saved, let Jacob rise: Thy Kingdom come indeed, Thy church with union bless, All scripture be her creed, And every tongue confess One Lord,--the Lord our Righteousness. 257 Now for the travail of His soul, Messiah's peaceful reign advance; From sea to sea, from pole to pole, He claims His pledged inheritance: O Thou most mighty! gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh,-- That two-edged sword,--Thy word, By which Thy foes shall die, Then be new-born beneath Thine eye. So perish all Thine enemies, Their enmity alone be slain; Them, in the arms of mercy seize, Breathe, and their souls shall come again: So may Thy friends at length, Oft smitten, oft laid low, Forth, like the sun in strength, Conquering, to conquer go, Till to Thy throne all nations flow.
