| ALL the world shall come to serve Thee | |
| And bless Thy glorious Name, | |
| And Thy righteousness triumphant | |
| The islands shall acclaim. | |
| And the peoples shall go seeking | 5 |
| Who knew Thee not before, | |
| And the ends of earth shall praise Thee, | |
| And tell Thy greatness o’er. | |
| |
| They shall build for Thee their altars, | |
| Their idols overthrown, | 10 |
| And their graven gods shall shame them, | |
| As they turn to Thee alone. | |
| They shall worship Thee at sunrise, | |
| And feel Thy Kingdom’s might, | |
| And impart their understanding | 15 |
| To those astray in night. | |
| |
| They shall testify Thy greatness, | |
| And of Thy power speak, | |
| And extol Thee, shrined, uplifted | |
| Beyond man’s highest peak. | 20 |
| And with reverential homage, | |
| Of love and wonder born, | |
| With the ruler’s crown of beauty | |
| Thy head they shall adorn. | |
| |
| With the coming of Thy Kingdom | 25 |
| The hills shall break into song, | |
| And the islands laugh exultant | |
| That they to God belong. | |
| And all their congregations | |
| So loud Thy praise shall sing, | 30 |
| That the uttermost peoples hearing, | |
| Shall hail Thee crownéd King. | |
