16698. New Missionary Hymn

1 God of na­tions, let sal­va­tion
Sound aloud from sea to sea;
Let the out­posts of the na­tion
Swell the glor­ious ju­bi­lee;
Wide as prair­ies, wide as prair­ies,
Let the bounds of mer­cy be,
Let the bounds of mer­cy be;
Wide as prair­ies, wide as prair­ies,
Let the bounds of mer­cy be,
Let the bounds of mer­cy be.

2 Thro’ the val­leys, o’er the mount­ains,
Let the red cross ban­ner go;
Turn the rocks and hills to fount­ains
From which tides of grace shall flow;
Flow to mill­ions, flow to mill­ions,
Held in chains of guilt and woe,
Held in chains of guilt and woe;
Flow to mill­ions, flow to mill­ions,
Held in chains of guilt and woe,
Held in chains of guilt and woe.

3 Let the In­dian in his wild­ness,
Let the freed­man in his gloom,
Taste the merc­y and the mild­ness
Of the Lord who left the tomb;
And in Heav­en, and in Heav­en,
For all tribes of men made room,
For all tribes of men made room;
And in Heav­en, and in Heav­en,
For all tribes of men made room,
For all tribes of men made room.
