3 Onward speed thy conquering flight, Angel, onward fly! Long has been the reign of night; Bring the morning nigh: Unto thee earth’s sufferers lift Their imploring wail; Bear them heavén’s holy gift, Ere their courage fail.
4 Onward speed thy conquering flight, Angel, onward speed! Morning bursts upon our sight, Lo! the time decreed: Now the Lord his kingdom takes, Thrones and empires fall; Now the joyous song awakes, “God is All in All!”
1287 7s & 6s. Roll on, thou mighty ocean.
Roll on, thou mighty ocean; And, as thy billows flow, Bear messengers of mercy To every land below.
2 Arise, ye gales, and waft them Safe to the destined shore, That man may sit in darkness And death’s deep shade no more.
3 O thou eternal Ruler, Who holdest in thine arm The tempests of the ocean, Protect them from all harm.
4 O be thy presence with them, Wherever they may be; Though far from us who love them, O be they still with thee!
