We long to see that happy time
Hymn 28
1
We long to see that happy time,
That long-expected, blissful day,
When men of every name and clime
The glorious Savior shall obey.
2
The word of God shall firm abide,
Though earth and hell should dare oppose;
The stone cut from the mountain's side
The powers of earth and hell o'erthrows.
3
From east to west, from south to north,
Immanuel's kingdom shall extend,
And man, wherever he goes forth,
Shall find *all* brethren, *each* a friend.
4
Afric's emancipated sons
Shall shout to Asia's rapturous song;
Europe, with her unnumbered tongues,
And western climes, the strain prolong.
