Hymn 282
7s.
1. Now the truth once more appears;
Hark! the gospel trump is heard;
Honest souls dry up your tears,
You with knowledge may be fed.

2. See the earth, its treasure yield!
Treasures it has long enclosed,
To the world they are revealed,
Through the earth the message goes.

3. On a mission so divine,
See the saints of the Most High,
To accomplish his design,
Over hill and dale they fly.

4. Through Columbia's happy land,
They the glorious standard raise;
Shout the time is near at hand,
—Wonders of the latter days.

5. Soon Britannia hears the sound,
And a thousand voices cry,
In the regions all around,
Glory be to God Most High.

6. Through the earth the tidings spread,
Distant nations catch the sound,
Where'er human feet doth tread,
There they bow with awe profound.
