Exert thy pow'r, thy rights maintain

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #546 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Exert thy pow'r, thy rights maintain, Insulted, everlasting King! The influence of thy crown increase, And strangers to thy footstool bring. 2 We long to see that happy time, That dear, expected, blessed day, When countless myriads of our race The second Adam shall obey. 3 The prophecies must be fulfill'd, Tho' earth and hell should dare oppose; The stone cut from the mountains' side, Tho' unobserv'd, to empire grows. 4 Soon shall the blended image fall, Brass, silver, iron, gold, and clay, And superstition's gloomy reign To light and liberty give way. 5 In one sweet symphony of praise, Gentile and Jew shall then unite; And infidelity, asham'd, Sink in th'abyss of endless night. 6 Soon Afric's long enslaved sons Shall join with Europe's polish'd race, To celebrate, in diff'rent tongues, The glories of redeeming grace. 7 From east to west, from north to south, Immanuel's kingdom shall extend; And ev'ry man, in ev'ry face, Shall meet a brother, and a friend.
