Lord over All, if Thou Hast Made

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1758
Composer: Martin Luther, 1523

Lord ov­er all

if Thou hast made

Hast ran­somed ev­ery soul of man

Why is the grace so long de­layed?

Why un­filled the sav­ing plan?

The bliss for Ad­am’s race de­signed

When will it reach to all man­kind?

When will it reach to all man­kind?

Art Thou the God of Jews alone?

And not the God of Gen­tiles

too?

To Gen­tiles make Thy good­ness known;

Thy judg­ments to the na­tions show;

Awake them by the Gos­pel call;

Light of the world

il­lum­ine all!

Light of the world

il­lum­ine all!

As light­ning launched from east to west

The com­ing of Thy king­dom be;

To Thee

by an­gel hosts con­fessed

Bow ev­ery soul and ev­ery knee;

Thy glo­ry let all flesh be­hold

And then fill up Thy heav­en­ly fold.

And then fill up Thy heav­en­ly fold.
