1 Oh may the Gospel swiftly spread,
Revive the living, raise the dead;
A glorious work be now begun,
And millions tell what God has done.
2 Let those who never felt before,
Now feel the Gospel’s vital power.
And languid souls who own Thy love,
Receive fresh visits from above.
3 Arise, Thou sun of righteousness
With light and life the nations bless;
In Zion, long the sinner’s scorn,
Be numerous sons and daughters born.
