WE SHALL REAP WITH JOY.

God of the prophet's power! God of the gospel's sound! Move glorious on; send out thy voice To all the nations round.
With hearts and lips unfeigned, We bless thee for thy word; We praise thee for the joyful news Which our glad ears have heard.
Oh, may we treasure well The counsels that we hear, Till righteousness and holy joy In all our hearts appear!
Water the sacred seed, And give it large increase; May neither storms, nor rocks, nor thorns Prevent the fruit of peace.
And though we sow in tears, Yet we at last shall come, And gather in our sheaves with joy At heaven's great harvest home. —Selected.
