Come and See What God Is Doing

Come and see what God is do­ing:

His are works of pow­er and grace;

Round the world His Word is go­ing

Giving light to ev­ery place.

’Tis a day ex­pect­ed long

Theme of old pro­phet­ic song.

While the na­tions are con­tend­ing

And the tu­mult loud­er grows;

Through the earth our God is send­ing

News of peace

to heal our woes.

Sounds of mer­cy sweet­er are

Heard amid the din of war.

Long the na­tions were be­night­ed

And the dark­ness has been still;

But the lamp that God has light­ed

Now is set up­on a hill.

Many now en­joy the light

And with rap­ture hail the sight.

Higher still and high­er place it:

Show it to the world around;

Never should we cease to raise it

While a na­tion still is found

One to whom it is not giv’n

To en­joy the light of Heav’n.
