The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#173

173. Yet once again, by God's abundant mercy

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
Speed us to labour, urge us on our way.

3 Stretch out thy hand, O God, and let the nations
Fee! through thine host the thrill of life divine;
Grant us, we pray, still greater revelations,
Make of these days an everlasting sign.
