Look with compassion on the coasts

And the land of the heathen;

See, how in their thousands, they are

Struggling and dying in sin.

Darkness covers, darkness covers

Many lives in our vast land.

The light of people in darkness,

Arise, bring blessings to us;

Light for those in heathen darkness,

Come, with healing in Thy wings.

Let all the kings, let all the kings

Come into Thy blazing light.

Let all the heathens who worship

Gods of wood and gods of stone,

Come, that they might fall down and bow

Before the almighty God.

Let Thy glory, let thy glory

Cover all the land and sea.

Thou, to whom all might is given,

Speak the word, give the decree;

Let the company of preachers

Proclaim Thy name all abroad.

Be Thou with them, be Thou with them,

Even, Lord, unto the end.
