Zelley Hymnal: CCHS1916 #188 (1918) Refrain First Line: Bless me, Lord, and make me a blessing Lyrics: 1 I do not ask to choose my path, Lord, lead me in Thy way; Inspire each tho't and prompt each word, And make me a blessing today.

The Morning Light is Breaking

Author: Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: CCHS1916 #189 (1918) First Line: The morning light is breaking, The darkness disappears 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 ev'ry 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."

For My Sake

Hymnal: CCHS1916 #190 (1918) First Line: For my sake and the Gospel's, go Lyrics: 1 "For My sake and the Gospel’s, go And tell redemption’s story;" His heralds answer, "Be it so, And Thine, Lord, all the glory!" They preach His birth, His life, His cross, The love of His atonement For whom they count the world but loss, His Easter, His enthronement. 2 Hark, hark, the trump of jubilee Proclaims to ev'ry nation, From pole to pole, by land and sea, Glad tidings of salvation: As nearer draws the day of doom, While still the battle rages, The heavenly day-spring through the gloom Breaks on the night of ages.

Watchman, does its beauteous ray Aught of joy or hope foretell? Trav'ler, yes, it brings the day, Promised day of Israel. 2 Watchman, tell us of the night; Higher yet that star ascends. Trav'ler, blessedness and light Peace and truth, its course portends. Watchman, will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? Trav'ler, ages are its own; See, it bursts o'er all the earth. 3 Watchman, tell us of the night, For the morning seems to dawn. Trav'ler, darkness takes its flight; Doubt and terror are withdrawn. Watchman, let thy wand'rings cease; Hie thee to thy quiet home. Trav'ler, lo, the Prince of Peace, Lo, the Son of God is come!

Conquering Kings their Titles Take

Hymnal: CCHS1916 #192 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Conquering kings their titles take From the foes they captive make: Jesus, by a nobler deed, From the thousands He hath freed. 2 Yes; not other name is given Unto mortals under heaven, Which can make the dead arise, And exalt them to the skies. 3 That which Christ so hardly wrought, That which He so dearly bought, That salvation, mortals, say, Will ye madly cast away? 4 Rather gladly for that Name Bear the cross, endure the shame; Joyfully for Him to die, Is not death, but victory. 5 Jesus, Who dost condescend To be called the sinner’s Friend, Hear us as to Thee we pray, Glorying in Thy Name today.

Wolcott, 1813-86 Hymnal: CCHS1916 #194 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Christ for the world we sing; The world to Christ we bring, With loving zeal; The poor, and them that mourn, The faint and over-borne, Sin-sick and sorrow-worn, Whom Christ doth heal. 2 Christ for the world we sing; The world to Christ we bring, With fervent prayer; The wayward and the lost, By restless passion tossed, Redeemed, at countless cost, From dark despair. 3 Christ for the world we sing; The world to Christ we bring, With one accord; With us the work to share, With us reproach to dare, With us the cross to bear, For Christ our Lord. 4 Christ for the world we sing; The world to Christ we bring, With joyful song; The new-born souls, whose days, Reclaimed from error's ways, Inspired with hope and praise, To Christ belong.

Unchanging God

Author: S. J. Stone Hymnal: CCHS1916 #195 (1918) First Line: Unchanging God, hear from eternal heaven Lyrics: 1 Unchanging God, hear from eternal heaven: We plead Thy gifts of grace, forever given, Thy call, without repentance, calling still, The sure election of Thy sov'reign will. 2 Out of our faith in Thee, who canst not lie, Out of our heart’s desire, goes up the cry, From hope’s sweet vision of the thing to be, From love to those who still are loved by Thee. 3 Bring Thy beloved back, Thine Israel, Thine own elect who from Thy favor fell, But not from Thine election! O forgive, Speak but the word, and, lo! the dead shall live. 4 Father of mercies! these the long astray, These in soul-blindness now the faraway, These are not aliens, but Thy sons of yore, O, by Thy Father-hood, restore, restore! 5 Breathe on Thy Church, that it may greet the day; Stir up her will to toil, and teach, and pray, Till Zion-ward again salvation come, And all her out-cast children are at home. 6 Triune Jehovah, Thine the grace and power, Thine all the work, its past, its future hour; O Thou, who failest not, Thy gifts fulfill, And crown the calling of Thy changeless will.

O Zion, haste, thy Mission

Author: Mary A. Thomson Hymnal: CCHS1916 #196 (1918) First Line: O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling Refrain First Line: Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace Lyrics: 1 O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling, To tell to all the world that God is Light; That He who made all nations is not willing One soul should perish, lost in shades of night: Chorus: Publish glad tidings; tidings of peace; Tidings of Jesus, redemption and release. 2 Behold how many thousands still are lying Bound in the dark-some prison-house of sin, With none to tell them of the Savior's dying, Or of the life He died for them to win. [Chorus] 3 Proclaim to ev'ry people, tongue, and nation That God, in whom they live and move, is Love: Tell how He stooped to save His lost creation, And died on earth that man might live above. [Chorus] 4 Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious; Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way; Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious; And all thou spendest Jesus will repay. [Chorus] 5 He comes again: O Zion, ere thou meet Him, Make known to ev'ry heart His saving grace; Let none whom He hath ransomed fail to greet Him, Through thy neglect, unfit to see His face.

From Greenland's icy Mountains

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: CCHS1916 #197 (1918) Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny 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 Can we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Can we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation, O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim Till each remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name. 3 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.
