Ye distant lands, and nations near, Behold your Savior God; The joyful news attentive hear, And spread it all abroad. His opening lips and outstretched arms Invite you near His seat, Whilst on His face unnumbered charms In full perfection meet. Let Israel all adore their Lord, His love their thoughts employ; The promises in Scripture stored Shall yield abundant joy. “In righteousness have I declared, The Word shall not return, I will be honored, loved and feared, Through Mine anointed Son. Then look to me, and be ye saved, Through earth’s remotest bound; By sins and idols now enslaved, In Me your help is found.
