The true immortal seed;
Thy gospel then shall greatly grow,
And all our land o'er-spread;
2 Through earth extended wide
Shall mightily prevail,
Destroy the works of self and pride,
And shake the gates of hell.
3 Its energy exert
In the believing soul;
Diffuse Thy grace through every part,
And sanctify the whole;
4 Its utmost virtue show
In pure consummate love,
And fill with all Thy life below,
And give us thrones above.
AMEN. Topics: The Holy Scripture Used With Tune: OLMUTZ
