Hymn 139: Thus saith the Lord, My Church, to thee

HYMN CXXXIX.

Thus saith the Lord, "My Church, to thee Peace, like a river, I will send; The , in a stream, shall see My mercy flowing without end.

The isles, that never heard my fame, Nor knew the glory of my might, They shall be taught to fear my name, Call'd out of darkness into light.

And it shall come to pass, that vows From unto -day, From moon to moon, in mine own house, All nations, tribes, and tongues shall pay."
