Song For The Beginning Of A New Month

God is working His purpose out

As year succeeds to year

God is working His purpose out

And the time is drawing near

Nearer and nearer draws the time

The time that shall surely be

When

When the earth shall be filled

With the glory of God

As the waters cover the sea

From utmost east to utmost west

Where’er man’s foot have trod

By the mouth of many messengers

Goes forth the Voice of God

Give ear to Me ye Continents

Ye Isles give ear to Me

That

That the earth may be filled

With the glory of God

As the waters cover the sea

What can we do to work God’s work

To prosper and increase

The brotherhood of all mankind

The reign of the Prince of Peace

What can we do to hasten the time

The time that shall surely come

When

When the earth shall be filled

With the glory of God

As the waters cover the sea

March we forth in the strength of God

With the Banner of Christ unfurled

That the light of the glorious gospel

Of truth may shine throughout the world

Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin

To set their captives free

That

That the earth shall be filled

With the glory of God

As the waters cover the sea

All we can do is nothing worth

Unless God blesses the deed

Vainly we hope for the harvest tide

Till God gives life to the seed

Yet nearer and nearer draws the time

The time that shall surely be

When

When the earth shall be filled

With the glory of God

As the waters cover the sea
