God is working

- God is working His purpose out,
- As year succeeds to year;
- God is working His purpose out,
- And the time is drawing near;
- Nearer and nearer draws the time,
- The time that shall surely be,
- When the earth shall be filled
- With the glory of God,
- As the waters cover the sea.
- From utmost East to utmost West,
- Where'er man's foot hath trod,
- By the mouth of many messengers
- Goes forth the voice of God;
- Give ear to Me, ye continents,
- Ye isles, give ear to Me,
- That the earth may be filled
- With the glory of God,
- As the waters cover the sea.
- March we forth in the strength of God
- With the banner of Christ unfurled,
- That the light of the glorious gospel of truth
- May shine throughout the world:
- Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin,
- To set their captives free,
- That the earth may be filled
- With the glory of God,
- As the waters cover the sea.
- All we can do is nothing worth,
- Unless God blesses the deed;
- Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
- Till God gives life to the seed;
- Yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
- The time that shall surely be,
- When the earth shall be filled
- With the glory of God,
- As the waters cover the sea
