Let us all fight with sorrow and sin to set the captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 4 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed. Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed. Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

Salvation shall be all my song; And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord my strength and righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 51
