Thus saith the Lord,—My Church, to thee, Peace, like a river, I will send; The Gentiles in a stream shall see My mercy, flowing without end. The isles that never heard my fame, Nor knew the glory of my might, They shall be taught to fear my name Called out of darkness into light. And it shall come to pass, that vows From Sabbath unto Sabbath day, From moon to moon, in mine own house, All nations, tribes, and tongues, shall pay.
