Come, Lord, to all, far off and near

Verse 1
Come, Lord, to all, far off and near,
Command the heathen world to hear,
Baptis’d or unbaptis’d, thy voice;
The gospel of thy kingdom spread,
Bid every soul thy hands have made
In thy redeeming love rejoice:

Verse 2
Thy kingdom of internal peace
Shall make our wars and fightings cease,
That rapt’rous sense of sin forgiven
Spoken by thee to every heart
Shall bid our enmity depart,
And turn our new-made earth to heaven.
