12734. Light Of The Gentile Race

1 Light of the Gentile race,
Appear in every heart;
And may the nations taste Thy grace,
And with their idols part.

2 Thou send’st Thy heralds forth,
To preach in every land;
To east and west, to south and north,
They run at Thy command.

3 Let Jews and Gentiles come,
And fall before Thy throne;
O bring the wandering exiles home,
To Thee the great Three-One.

4 Now let Thy Gospel run,
And sin and Satan fall,
That all who dwell beneath the sun
May crown Thee Lord of all.
