LET THE NATIONS BE GLAD- A poem on Psalm 67

Blessings come for gospel pleasure

For all peoples to delight

In Christ their sovereign treasure

And joy to know no height


Nations round are yet to know

A hope to be forgiven

So cause our grace to grow

That to Christ they may be driven


We plead for grace

Not for self and ease

But to run the race

Across the seas


Except you bless us

We cannot go

The riches of Jesus

They will not know


So give more grace

And grant more blessing

To set the pace

Till they’re confessing


In every land

Where Christ not known

The faith you command

In Christ alone


There are other sheep

That must be brought

A charge to keep

For those you bought


Grant them to repent

Give them faith to choose

For their hearts are bent

Their wills refuse


S o bless us well

And grace increase

For we must tell

God’s terms of peace


To make them sing

And make them true

Worshippers of the King

Now made brand new
