Lord, What a World

Verse 1

Lord, what a world of sense and sin, I find around me and within! And in Your mind what thoughts must rise, When You observe man from the skies!

Verse 2

Thy glorious work so overthrown, Thy children all rebellious grown, Thy followers faint and few, and those Encompassed by unnumbered foes.

Verse 3

O that Your Gospel were gone forth, From East to West, from South to North! Your people back to Zion come, And Your outcasts gathered home!

Verse 4

Arise, great Sun of Righteousness! Arise, the world to light and bless! From realm to realm advance and shine, Till every heart and hand are Thine!
