darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in His sight.
peace the her - ald
go, And righteousness in fountains From hill to valley flow.
from the isles shall meet, To pour the wealth of ocean In tribute at His feet.

5 Kings shall fall down before Him,
And gold and incense bring:
All nations shall adore Him;
His praise all people sing;
For He shall have dominion
O'er river, sea, and shore,
Far as the eagle's pinion

Or dove's light wing can soar.

6 For Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend:

His kingdom still increasing,

A kingdom without end.

The heavenly dew shall nourish
A seed in weakness sown,

Whose fruit shall spread and flourish,
And shake like Lebanon.

7 O'er every foe victorious,

He on His throne shall rest;
From age to age more glorious,
All-blessing and all-blessed.
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His name shall stand for ever;
His great, best name of Love!
