What wondrous things we now behold,<br /> Which were declared from days of old,<br /> By prophets, who in visions clear,<br /> Beheld these glories from afar.<br /> <br /> 2. The visions which Almighty God,<br /> Confirmed by his unchanging word.<br /> That to the ages then unborn,<br /> His greatest work he would perform.<br /> <br /> 3. The second time he'd set his hand,<br /> To gather Israel to their land,<br /> Fulfil the covenants he had made,<br /> And pour his blessings on their head.<br /> <br /> 4. When Moab's remnant, long oppressed,<br /> Shall gathered be, and greatly blest;<br /> And Ammon's children, scattered wide,<br /> Return with joy, in peace abide.<br /> <br /> 5. While Elam's race, a feeble band,<br /> Receive a share in the blest land,<br /> And Gentiles all their power display<br /> To hasten on the glorious day.<br /> <br /> 6. Then Ephraim's sons, a warlike race,<br /> Shall haste in peace and see their rest,<br /> And earth's remotest parts abound,<br /> With joys of everlasting sound.<br /> <br /> 7. Assyria's captives, long since lost,<br /> In splendour come, a numerous host;<br /> Egyptia's waters, filled with fear,<br /> Their power feel and disappear.<br /> <br /> 8. Yes, Abraham's children now shall be<br /> Like sands in number by the sea;<br /> While kindreds, tongues, and nations all,<br /> Combine to make their numbers full.<br /> <br /> 9. The dawning of that day has come,<br /> See! Abraham's sons are gath'ring home,<br /> And daughters too, with joyful lays,<br /> Are hastening here to join in praise!<br /> <br /> 10. O God, our Father and our King,<br /> Prepare our voices and our theme:<br /> Let all our powers of mind combine,<br /> To sing thy praise in songs divine.&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> [[category:Hymns]]<br /> [[category:Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:Public Domain]]<br /> [[category:Public Domain Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:English Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:British English Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:Gathering of Israel]]<br /> [[category:8 8 8 8]]</div>
