Let the round world with songs rejoice;
Let Heaven return the joyful voice;
All mindful of th’Apostles’ fame
Let Heav’n and earth their praise proclaim.
Ye servants who once bore the light
Of Gospel truth o’er heathen night
Still may your work that light impart
To glad our eyes and cheer our heart.
O God
by whom to them was giv’n
The key that shuts and opens Heav’n
Our chains unbind
our loss repair
And grant us grace to enter there.
For at Thy will they preached the Word
Which cured disease
which health conferred:
O may that healing power once more
Our souls to grace and health restore.
That when Thy Son again shall come
And speak the world’s unerring doom
He may with them pronounce us blest
And place us in Thy endless rest.
To Thee
O Father; Son
to Thee;
blest Spirit
glory be!
So was it ay for ages past
So shall through endless ages last.
