Christian Hymns ‎#35

35. Look from Thy sphere of endless day

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, and stay the weak,
And bind and heal the broken heart.
