There in the church pews we heard of your name
For the first time we prayed for them
A thousand years had come and gone
And few had come along to tell them
That you are the God
Who made earth and sky
Gave your son to die
For sinners
And I know they hold dear
To their prophet?s ways
But history?s past cannot change your promise
Father let the news of Christ be known
In every town, in every home
Let the nations be glad
Let the whole earth sing
For Christ the Risen King
The harvest is full and the outcome secure
So what are we waiting for, church rise!
For this Gospel shall spread to the ends of the world
And the Lord shall return for his bride
Chorus
Let the ground be rich
Let the sky rain down
With the grace and love of Christ
Father let the news of Christ be known
In every town, in every home
Let the nations be glad
Let the whole earth sing
For Christ the Risen King
