Verse 1

[G]God [C]is worki[D]ng hi[G]s purpose out,
As [C]ye[D]ar succe[G]eds to year,
God [D]is work[Em]ing his[B] purpose out,
And the[Em] time is[D] drawing near;
Nearer and[G] nearer draws the time,
The time tha[E]t sh[Am]all surely be,
When [G]the earth shall be [Em]filled [Am]with the glory of God
As t[D]he waters c[G]over the sea.

Verse 2

[G]From ut[C]most ea[D]st [G]to utmost west,
W[C]here[D]ver feet[G] have trod,
By [D]the mout[Em]h of m[B]any messengers
Goe[Em]s forth the v[D]oice of God,
'Give ear to[G] me, ye continents,
Ye[C] isles, [E]give [Am]ear to me,
That [G]the earth may be f[Em]illed w[Am]ith the glory of God
As [D]the waters c[G]over the sea.

Verse 3

[G]What ca[C]n we[D] do to[G] work God's work,
To [C]pros[D]per an[G]d increase
The lo[D]ve of [Em]God in [B]all mankind,
Th[Em]e reign of the P[D]rince of peace?
What can w[G]e do to hasten the time,
The[C] time tha[E]t sha[Am]ll surely be,
When [G]the earth shall be [Em]filled [Am]with the glory of God
As t[D]he waters c[G]over the sea?

Verse 4

[G]March [C]we forth[D] in the [G]strength of God,
With [C]the ban[D]ner of [G]Christ unfurled,
That the ligh[D]t of th[Em]e glori[B]ous gospel of truth
May[Em] shine throu[D]ghout the world;
Fight we the f[G]ight with sorrow and sin,
To[C] set the[E]ir cap[Am]tives free,
That [G]the earth may be [Em]filled w[Am]ith the glory of God
As t[D]he waters c[G]over the sea.

Verse 5

[G]All we [C]can [D]do is [G]nothing worth
Un[C]less [D]God ble[G]sses the deed;
Vainl[D]y we hope[Em] for t[B]he harvesttide
Till G[Em]od gives life [D]to the seed;
Yet nearer a[G]nd nearer draws the time,
Th[C]e time tha[E]t sha[Am]ll surely be,
When [G]the earth shall be [Em]filled [Am]with the glory of God
As t[D]he waters c[G]over the sea.
