God Is Working His Purpose Out
Author: Arthur C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #862 (2011) Hymnal Title: Worship (4th ed.) Lyrics: 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,
Wherever foot has trod,
By the mouth of many messengers
Goes forth the voice of God:
"Give ear to me, ye continents,
You isles, give ear to me,
That the earth may 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 may be filled
with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is worthless toil
Unless God blesses the deed.
Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
Till God gives life to the 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. Topics: Second Coming Scripture: Habakkuk 1:14 Languages: English Tune Title: PURPOSE

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.
