26. Missionary Hymn

1 Heav’nly Father, as we pray
For the heathen far away,
Fill our hearts with earnest pray’r
For the many children there.

2 Jesus, we, a little band,
Would obey Thy great command,
Send them news of Thee, our King,
By the off’ring that we bring.

3 May the children everywhere
Bow with us in praise and pray’r,
And the Saviour we have found
Be adored the world around.
