The morning light is breaking

Author: S. F. Smith Hymnal: LHPN1913 #113 (1913) Lyrics: 1 The morning light is breaking; The darkness disappears; The sons of earth are waking To penitential tears; Each breeze that sweeps the ocean Brings tidings from afar Of nations in commotion, Prepared for Zion's war. 2 See heathen nations bending Before the God we love, And thousand hearts ascending In gratitude above; While sinners, now confessing, The gospel call obey, And seek the Savior's blessing, A nation in a day. 3 Blest river of salvation, Pursue thy onward way; Flow thou to every nation, Nor in thy richness stay: Stay not till all the lowly Triumphant reach their home: Stay not till all the holy Proclaim, "The Lord is come!"

Savior, sprinkle many nations

Author: A.C. Coxe Hymnal: LHPN1913 #114 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Savior, sprinkle many nations, Fruitful let Thy sorrows be! By Thy pains and consolations Draw the gentiles unto Thee! Of Thy cross the wondrous story Be it to the nations told; Let them see Thee in Thy glory, And Thy mercy manifold! 2 Far and wide, though all unknowing, Pants for Thee each mortal breast: Human tears for Thee are flowing, Human hearts in Thee would rest. Thirsting, as for dews of even, As the new-mown grass for rain, Thee they seek, as God of heaven, Thee as man for sinners slain. 3 Savior, lo, the isles are waiting, Stretched the hand, and strained the sight, For Thy Spirit, new-creating, Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light. Give the word, and of the preacher Speed the foot, and touch the tongue, Till on earth, by every creature, Glory to the Lamb be sung.

Look from Thy sphere of endless day

Author: William Cullen Bryant Hymnal: LHPN1913 #115 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Look from Thy sphere of endless day, O God of mercy and of might! In pity look on those who stray, Benighted in this land of light. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or sea; How many of the sons of men Hear not the message sent from Thee! 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold. 4 Send them Thy mighty word, to speak Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene, That makes us sadden as we gaze, Shall grow with living waters, green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise.

Awake, Thou Spirit, who didst fire

Author: C. A. von Bogatzky Hymnal: LHPN1913 #116 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit, who didst fire The watchmen of the Church’s youth, Who faced the foe’s envenomed ire, Who witnessed day and night Thy truth, Whose voices loud are ringing still, And bringing hosts to know Thy will. 2 Lord, let our earnest prayers be heard, The prayer Thy Son hath bid us pray, For lo, Thy children’s hearts are stirred In every land in this our day, To cry with fervent soul to Thee, O help us, Lord! so let it be! 3 O haste to help, ere we are lost! Send preachers forth, in spirit strong, Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host, Bold to attack the rule of wrong; Let them the earth for Thee reclaim, Thy heritage, to know Thy Name. 4 Would there were help within our walls! O let Thy Spirit come again, Before whom every barrier falls, And now once more shine forth as then! O rend the heavens and make us free! Come, Lord, and bring us back to Thee! 5 And let Thy Word have speedy course, Through every land be glorified, Till all the heathen know its force, And fill Thy churches far and wide; Wake Israel from her sleep, O Lord, And spread the conquests of Thy Word! 6 The Church's desert paths restore; Let stumbling-blocks that in them lie Hinder Thy Word henceforth no more: Error destroy, and heresy, And let Thy Church, from hirelings free, Bloom as a garden fair to Thee!

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: LHPN1913 #117 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 To Him shall endless prayer be made, And praises throng to crown His head; His name like sweet perfume shall rise With every morning sacrifice. 3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His name. 4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns; The prisoners leap to burst his chains, The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. 5 Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honors to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen.

Through midnight gloom from Macedon

Author: S. J. Stone Hymnal: LHPN1913 #118 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Through midnight gloom from Macedon The cry of myriads as of one, The voiceful silence of despair, Is eloquent in awful prayer, The soul’s exceeding bitter cry, "Come o’er and help us, or we die." 2 How mournfully it echoes on! For half the earth is Macedon; These brethren to their brethren call, And by the Love which loved them all, And by the whole world’s Life they cry, "O ye that live, behold we die!" 3 By other sounds the world is won Than that which wails from Macedon; The roar of gain is round it rolled, Or men unto themselves are sold, And cannot list the alien cry, "O hear and help us, lest we die." 4 Yet with that cry from Macedon, The very car of Christ rolls on; "I come; who would abide My day In yonder wilds prepare My way; My voice is crying in their cry; Help ye the dying, lest ye die." 5 Jesus, for men of Man the Son, Yea, Thine the cry from Macedon; O by the kingdom and the power And glory of Thine advent hour, Wake heart and will to hear their cry; Help us to help them, lest we die.

Spread, O spread, thou mighty word

Author: J. F. Bahnmaier Hymnal: LHPN1913 #119 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Spread, O spread, thou mighty word, Spread the kingdom of the Lord, Wheresoe'er His breath has given Life to beings meant for heaven. 2 Tell them how the Father's will Made the world, and keeps it still, How He sent His Son to save All who help and comfort crave. 3 Tell of our Redeemer's love, Who for ever doth remove By His holy sacrifice All the guilt that on us lies. 4 Tell them of the Spirit given Now to guide us up to heaven, Strong and holy, just and true, Working both to will and do. 5 Word of life, most pure and strong, Lo, for Thee the nations long; Spread, till from its dreary night All the world awakes to light. 6 Up! The ripening fields ye see, Mighty shall the harvest be; But the reapers still are few, Great the work they have to do. 7 Lord of harvest, let there be Joy and strength to work for Thee Till the nations, far and near, See Thy light, and learn Thy fear.

From Greenland's icy mountains

Author: R. Heber Hymnal: LHPN1913 #120 (1913) Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's bright fountains Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though every prospect pleases, And only man is vile; In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strown; The heathen in their blindness Bow down to wood and stone. 3 Can we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Can we to those benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation! O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole: Till o’er our ransomed nature The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign!

Hark! the voice of Jesus crying

Author: D. March Hymnal: LHPN1913 #121 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white, and harvests waiting, Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth, Rich reward He offers thee: Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I; send me, send me"? 2 If you cannot cross the ocean, And the heathen lands explore, You can find the heathen nearer, You can help them at your door. If you cannot give your thousands, You can give the widow's mite; And the least you give for Jesus Will be precious in His sight. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, Standing high on Zion's wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Offering life and peace to all; With your prayers and with your bounties You can do what heaven demands; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the souls of men are dying, And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth-- "Here am I; send me, send me."

O God of God! O Light of light!

Author: John Julian Hymnal: LHPN1913 #122 (1913) Lyrics: 1 O God of God! O Light of light! Thou Prince of Peace, Thou King of kings, To Thee, where angels know no night The song of praise forever rings: To Him Who sits upon the throne, The Lamb once slain for sinful men, Be honor, might; all by Him won; Glory and praise! Amen, Amen. 2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' wingèd word, Slowly in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord; Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song, "Good-will to men!" Hymned by the first-born sons of light, Re-echoed now, "Good-will!" Amen. 3 That life of truth, those deeds of love, That death of pain, 'mid hate and scorn; These all are past, and now above, He reigns our King! once crowned with thorn. Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates; So sang His hosts, unheard by men; Lift up your heads, for you He waits. We lift them up! Amen, Amen! 4 Nations afar, in ignorance deep; Isles of the sea, where darkness lay; These hear His voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, "Send forth Thy light," O Lamb, once slain for sinful men; Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might; Set all men free! Amen, Amen! 5 Sing to the Lord a glorious song, Sing to His Name, His love forth tell; Sing on, heaven's hosts, His praise prolong; Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell; Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain; From angels, praise; and thanks from men; Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and power! Amen, Amen! Topics: The Church Missions; The Church Missions; Angels; Missions Tune Title: [O God of God! O Light of light!]
