The Cyber Hymnal ‎#7776

7776. Yet Once Again

1. Yet once again, by God’s abundant mercy,
We join our song of thankfulness and praise;
Ever the light of our Redeemer’s victory
Shineth before us in the world’s dark ways.

Refrain
Jesus shall conquer, lift up the strain!
Evil shall perish and righteousness shall reign.

2. O for the time of Christ’s completed mission!
Throbs of its rapture reach us as we pray;
Gleams of its glory bursting on our vision
Send us to labor, urge us on our way. [Refrain]

3. Stretch out Thy hand, O God, and let the nations
Feel through Thine host the thrill of life divine;
Grant us, we pray, still greater revelations,
Make of these days an everlasting sign. [Refrain]
