LXXII. Eternal God, thy Pow'r make known

1 Eternal God, thy Pow'r make known,
Make the whole Earth confess
That thou art God, and thou alone
Dost rule in Righteousness.

2 May the whole Earth thy Glory see,
And thy Salvation know;
And to thy Saints, who wait for thee,
Thy Works and Wonders show.

3 Lord Jesus, come, and take thy pow'r,
And rule us by thy Grace:
We wait for that expected Hour
When we shall see thy Face.

4 Our Souls are longing for the Day
When Jesus shall be King;
When he our stubborn Sins shall slay,
And we his Praise shall sing.

5 Our Hearts rejoice in Jesu's Name,
His Word forbids our Fear;
We love his Gospel to Proclaim
That all Mankind may hear.

6 But dearest Lord, let us enjoy
That Everlasting Peace,
That nothing ever shall destroy,
Nor cause it to decrease,

7 Lord here we wait to know thy Will,
And to obey the same,
May we our Course on Earth fulfil,
In Honour to thy Name.
