[verse 1]
What hath God wrought?
This question was sought
From the old Supreme Court
To Baltimore depot by the port;
In eighteen forty-four
The Lord opened up the door
To sharing His word
By wire as far as could be heard.
[chorus]
What hath God wrought?
Those who by His blood were bought
Proclaim the answer far and wide
By every means o’er hill and tide;
Whether by air or Internet
Or mouth to mouth, “God canceled our debt
So that our souls forever are free —
Give everyone this wondrous key!”
[verse 2]
What hath God wrought?
The awe of God that once we taught
Has fallen on the ground;
Scarcely more is heard its sound —
God grieves from heaven so,
He wants His people again to know
What mighty words and deeds
Grow from faith like mustard seeds.
[chorus]
What hath God wrought?
Those who by His blood were bought
Proclaim the answer far and wide
By every means o’er hill and tide;
Whether by air or Internet
Or mouth to mouth, “God canceled our debt
So that our souls forever are free —
Give everyone this wondrous key!”
[verse 3]
What hath God wrought?
O let His Spirit again be caught
By the hearts of yearning men
Who would see glory once again;
O let a boldness like a lion
Again be seen in Abraham’s scion
And all adopted in his faith
Speak up again before it’s too late.
[chorus]
What hath God wrought?
Those who by His blood were bought
Proclaim the answer far and wide
By every means o’er hill and tide;
Whether by air or Internet
Or mouth to mouth, “God canceled our debt
So that our souls forever are free —
Give everyone this wondrous key!”
