Each with a diff'rent tongue;
In every language learn his word,

A little spot enclosed by grace
Out of the world's wide wilderness.

While from the skies his awful voice
Bears the last judgment down.

To have our ancient sins forgiv'n.

Of our Redeemer, God?
Shall infidels reproach his laws,
Or trample on his blood?

While men lie grov'lling here
His hopes are fixed above the sky,
And faith forbids his fear.

And bear my spirit home;
Why do my minutes move so slow,
Nor my salvation come?

The Father of our Lord;
Be his abounding mercy praised,
His majesty adored.
