Look from Thy Sphere

Verse 1

Look from your sphere of endless day, O God of mercy and of might; In pity look on those who stray So blindly in this land of light.

Verse 2

Send us, your people, Lord, to call The thoughtless, hardened young and old, A scattered homeless flock, till all Are gathered in your peaceful fold.

Verse 3

Give us your mighty Word, to speak Till faith is born and doubts depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart.

Verse 4

Then all these wastes, a dreary scene That makes us sadden as we gaze, Shall bloom with living waters green And lift to heav'n the voice of praise.

Verse 5

Amen
