God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year

Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger (1841-1919) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #235 (2005) Meter: Irregular Topics: Kingdom of God 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 farthest east to farthest west, where human feet have trod, by the voice of many messengers goes forth the voice of God: 'Give ear to me, you continents, you islands give ear to me, that earth may be filled with the glory of God, as the waters cover the sea.' 3 Let us go 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: let us all fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free, that earth may be filled with the glory of God, as the waters cover the sea. 4 All that we do can have no worth, unless God bless 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.
