Josh K - Hymn for Ceylon

Jehovah, Thou hast promised
The isles shall wait for Thee
The joyous isles of Ocean
The jewels of the sea
Lo! we, this island's watchmen
Would give and take no rest
For thus hast Thou commanded
Till our dear land is blessed
Then bless her mighty Father
With blessings needed most
In every verdant village
By every palmy coast
On every soaring mountain
O'er every spreading plain
May all her sons and daughters
Thy righteousness attain
Your goodness, Your mercies
Like milk and like honey
Shall flow abundantly across this land
You'll never forsake us
You'll always be with us
We're standing on the promises you've made
To Him, our land shall listen
To Him, our peoples kneel
All rule be on His shoulder
All wrong beneath His heel
O consummation glorious
Which now by faith we sing
Come, cast we up the highway
That brings us back our King!
Your goodness, Your mercies
Like milk and like honey
Shall flow abundantly across this land
You'll never forsake us
You'll always be with us
We're standing on the promises you've made
