A-men. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or sea, Hear not the message sent from Thee. 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call 4 Send them Thy mighty word to speak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene, WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT Our rivers, lakes and fountains, To Thee shall tribute yield. A-men 2 O Christ, for Thine own glory, And may we know, Lord Jesus, The tempter's power withstand. 3 Where error smites with blindness, Enslaves and leads astray, Do Thou in loving-kindness Till all the tribes and races That dwell in this fair land, Adorned with Christian graces, Within Thy courts shall stand. 4 Our Saviour King, defend us, And guide where we should go; From ocean unto ocean Our land shall own Thee Lord. Amen.
