Hymn 444
Millions groping yet in darkness
Scripture: Luke 2:32
Millions groping yet in darkness,
Think my heart and be thou still;
Each of God's own promise tells us
Of a glorious happy morn.
Day of gladness, day of gladness,
May that dawn on us soon.
Let all India and Africa,
Men of different tribes and creed,
Know the great and glorious vict’ry
Freely giv’n on Calvary.
May the gospel, may the gospel
Be proclaimed from shore to shore.
All the kingdoms yet in darkness,
Send the Gospel light to them;
From the sunrise to the sunset
May the light dispel the gloom.
May Redemption, may Redemption
Freely bestowed have full sway.
March on, March on blessed Gospel,
March on to full victory;
May Thy everlasting kingdom
Multiply and never cease.
Blessed saviour, blessed Saviour,
Come and reign all o’er the earth.
