Our country's voice is pleading

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #472 (1918) Meter: 7.6.8.1 Lyrics: 1 Our country’s voice is pleading, Ye men of God, arise! His providence is leading, The land before you lies; Day-gleams o’er it are brightening, And promise clothes the soil; Wide fields, for harvest whitening, Invite the reaper’s toil. 2 Go, where the waves are breaking On California’s shore, Christ’s precious Gospel taking, More rich than golden ore; On Allegheny’s mountains, Through all the western vale, Beside Missouri’s fountains, Rehearse the wondrous tale. 3 The love of Christ unfolding, Speed on from east to west, Till all, His cross beholding, In Him are fully blessed. Great Author of salvation, Haste, haste the glorious day, When we, a ransomed nation, Thy scepter shall obey. Topics: Church Languages: English

O Spirit of the living God

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #473 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God, In all Thy plenitude of grace, Where’er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race. 2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love, To preach the reconciling Word; Give power and unction from above, Where’er the joyful sound is heard. 3 Be darkness, at Thy coming, light; Confusion--order, in Thy path; Souls without strength inspire with might; Bid mercy triumph over wrath. 4 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare A sinful world their God to meet; Breathe Thou abroad like morning air, Till hearts of stone begin to beat. 5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh The triumphs of the cross record; The name of Jesus glorify, Till every kindred call Him Lord. 6 God from eternity hath willed All flesh shall His salvation see: So be the Father’s love fulfilled, The Savior’s sufferings crowned through Thee.

From Greenland's icy mountains

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #474 (1918) Meter: 7.6.8.1 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 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 his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high,-- Shall we to men 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.

O Christ, our true and only Light

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #475 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Enlighten those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear Thy voice, And in Thy fold with us rejoice. 2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace The souls now lost in error's maze; And all whom in their secret minds Some dark delusion haunts and blinds. 3 And all who else have strayed from Thee, O gently seek! Thy healing be To every wounded conscience given, And let them also share Thy heaven. 4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word, And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold, Recall the wanderers to Thy fold, Unite all those who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart, 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wondering thanks adore, And endless praise to Thee be given By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.

Hark! the voice of Jesus crying

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #476 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.1 Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work to-day? 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 speak like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus, You can say He died for all. If you cannot rouse the wicked, With the judgment's dread alarms, You can lead the little children To the Savior's waiting arms. 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!" Topics: Church Languages: English

Savior, sprinkle many nations

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #477 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.1 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! Topics: Church Languages: English

Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise!

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #478 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise! Exalt thy towering head, and lift thine eyes; See heaven its sparkling portals wide display, And break upon thee in a flood of day. 2 See a long race thy spacious court adorn; See future sons and daughters yet unborn In crowding ranks on every side arise, Demanding life, impatient for the skies. 3 See barbarous nations at thy gates attend, Walk in the light and in thy temple bend; See thy bright altars thronged with prostrate kings, While every land its joyful tribute brings. 4 The seas shall waste, the skies to smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away; But fixed this Word, this saving power remains; Thy realm shall last, thy own Messiah reigns!

Look from Thy sphere of endless day

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #479 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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.

May God bestow on us His grace

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #480 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 May God bestow on us His grace, With blessings rich provide us, And may the brightness of His face, To life eternal guide us; That we His gracious work may know, And what is His good pleasure, And also to the heathen show Christ's riches without measure, And unto God convert them. 2 Thine over all shall be the praise And thanks of every nation, And all the world with joy shall raise The voice of exultation; For Thou shalt judge the earth, O Lord, Nor suffer sin to flourish; Thy people's pasture is Thy Word Their souls to feed and nourish, In righteous paths to keep them. 3 O let the people praise Thy worth, In all good works increasing; The land shall plenteous fruit bring forth, Thy Word is rich in blessing. May God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit bless us! Let all the world praise Him alone, Let solemn awe possess us. Now let our hearts say, Amen. Topics: Church Languages: English

Awake, Thou Spirit, who didst fire

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #481 (1918) 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 prayer 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!
