Savior, sprinkle many nations,
\nFruitful let Thy sorrows be;
\nBy Thy pains and consolations
\nDraw the Gentiles unto Thee.
\nOf Thy Cross the wondrous story,
\nBe it to the nations told;
\nLet them see Thee in Thy glory
\nAnd Thy mercy manifold.<\/p>\n
Let to mortals all be given
\nThee to know and life to gain,
\nThee, the very God of heaven,
\nThee, the Man for sinners slain.
\nSpeak Thou hope to ev’ry mortal
\nThro’ the Gospel, sweet and blest;
\nLead them thro’ Thy kingdom’s portal
\nTo eternal peace and rest.<\/p>\n
Great the need in ev’ry nation,
\nDense the darkness of sin’s night;
\nLet Thy Spirit bring salvation,
\nLove’s pure flame, and wisdom’s light.
\nGive the Word, Thy preachers strengthen
\nWith the prophets’ pow’r of old,
\nHelp them Zion’s cords to lengthen,
\nAll Thy wand’ring sheep to fold.<\/p>\n
