| 1. The earth is the Lord's,
And all it contains;
The truth of his words
For ever remains;
The saints have a mountain
Of blessings in him;
His grace is the fountain,
His peace is the stream.
2. To him our request
We now have made known,
Who sees what is best
For each of his own;
Our heathenish care,
We cast it aside;
He heareth the prayer,
And he will provide.
3. The modest and meek
The earth shall possess:
The kingdom who seek
Of Jesus's grace
The power of his Spirit
Shall joyfully own,
And all things inherit
In virtue of one.
