In these our days exalt thy grace,Thy precious gospel spread;That for the travail of thy soulThou mayst behold thy seed.

O may thy knowledge fill the earth!Increase the number stillOf those who in thy word believe,And do thy holy will.

Lord, by thy Spirit us prepareTo follow thy command,To execute thy utmost aim,And in thy presence stand.
