When Shall Thy Name Be Known?

When shall Thy name be known

Great God

in ev­ery land

And na­tions bow be­fore Thy throne

And bless Thy fos­ter­ing hand?

When will the day arise

On our be­night­ed race

To shed on all be­low the skies

The beams of sav­ing grace?

The pro­mise has been made

That all shall know Thy name;

O grant us then Thy need­ful aid

Thy wan­der­ing flock re­claim.

Let earth’s re­mot­est bound

The joy­ful tid­ings hear

That a Re­deem­er hath been found

To bring sal­va­tion near.

O let Thy grace com­plete

The work it has begun

And put all foes be­neath the feet

Of Thy vic­tor­ious Son.
