Christ’s universal reign.
HASTEN, Lord, the glorious time,
When, beneath Messiah’s sway,
Every nation, every clime,
Shall the gospel call obey.
2 Mightiest kings his power shall own;
Heathen tribes his Name adore;
Satan and his host, o’erthrown,
Bound in chains, shall hurt no more.
3 Then shall wars and tumults cease;
Then be banish’d grief and pain;
Righteousness, and joy, and peace,
Undisturb’d, shall ever reign.
4 Bless we, then, our gracious Lord;
Ever praise his glorious Name;
All his mighty acts record,-
All his wondrous love proclaim.
Lyte
Methodist Episcopal hymnal (1870 edition)
<idle musing>
I've never heard of Lyte before, and hymnary.org credits it to a Harriet Auber.
For Lyte, hymnary.org lists a Henry Frank Lyte, with this note:
In many instances, however, through mistaking Miss Auber's (q. v.) Spirit of the Psalms, 1829, for his, he is credited with more than is his due.So that explains it.
