God Is Working His Purpose Out

Author: Arthur C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Meter: Irregular Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Discipleship Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out As year succeeds to year: God is working his purpose out, And the time is drawing near; 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. 2 From utmost east to utmost west, Wherever foot has trod, By the mouth of many messengers Goes forth the voice of God; Give ear to me, ye continents, You isles, give ear to me, That the earth may be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. 3 March we forth in the strength of God, With the banner of Christ unfurled, That the light of the glorious gospel of truth May shine throughout the world: Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin To set their 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 worthless toil 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.
