1 O thou whom we adore!
To bless our earth again,
Assume thine own almighty power,
And o'er the nations reign.

2 The world's desire and hope,
All power to thee is given;
Now set the last great empire up,
Eternal Lord of heaven!

3 A gracious Saviour, thou
Wilt all thy children bless;
And every knee to thee shall bow,
And every tongue confess.

4 According to thy word
Now be thy grace revealed,
And with the knowledge of the Lord
Let all the earth be filled.
