The Acceptable Year

William Williams • English

Primary Scripture: Leviticus 25:10

Verse 1

O'er the gloomy hills of darkness, Cheered by no celestial ray, Sun of Righteousness, arising, Bring the bright, the glorious day; Send the gospel To the earth's remotest bounds.

Verse 2

Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness, Grant them, Lord, the glorious light; And from eastern coast to western May the morning chase the night, And redemption, Freely purchased win the day.

Verse 3

Fly abroad, thou mighty gospel, Win and conquer, never cease; May thy lasting, wide dominions Multiply and still increase; Sway thy sceptre, Saviour, all the world around.

Verse 4

Amen.
