Ye cannot fail, for God is love!
3 Lord, we have faith; we wait the hour
Which to the earth Thy kingdom brings;
When Thou, in love, and joy, and power,
Shalt come and make us priests and kings:
When man shall be indeed Thy son,
And Thy pure will on earth be done.

He Maketh All Things New.
1 Almighty Spirit, now behold
A world by sin destroyed!
Creative spirit, as of old
Move on the formless void!
2 Give Thou the word--the healing sound
Shall quell the deadly strife,
And earth again, like Eden crowned,

When nature rose to view,
What strains shall angel harps employ,
When Thou shalt all renew!

Till that blest day shall shine,
When earth shall fruits of Eden bear,
And all, O God, be Thine!

Until, from shore to shore,
Thou, Lord, our everlasting sun,
Art shining evermore!

Upon the thirsty earth;
And joy and hope, like flowers,

Before Him, on the mountains,

And Righteousness, in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.
3 To Him shall prayer unceasing,
