225 – God Is Working His Purpose Out

1

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.

2

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 confinents,

Ye isles, give ear to me,

That the earth shall be filled with the glory of God

As the waters cover the sea.

3

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 shall be filled with the glory of God

As the waters cover the sea.

4

All we can do is nothing worth

Unless God blesses the deed;

Vainly we hope for the harvest tide

Till God gives life to teh 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.
