From the sun’s rising

From the sun’s rising
unto the sun’s setting
Jesus our Lord shall
be great in the earth;
and all earth’s kingdoms
shall be his dominion;
all of creation
shall sing of his worth.

Let every heart,
every voice,
every tongue join
with spirits ablaze;
one in his love
we will circle the world
with the song of his praise.
O, let all his people rejoice
and let all the earth
hear his voice.

2. To every tongue, tribe
and nation he sends us,
to make disciples,
to teach and baptize.
For all authority
to him is given;
now as his witnesses
we shall arise.

3. Come, let us join with
the church from all nations,
cross every border,
throw wide every door;
workers with him
as he gathers his harvest,
till earth’s far corners
our Saviour adore.
