Awake, Thou Spirit Bold And Daring

Author: H. Brueckner; C. H. von Bogatzky Hymnal: ALH1930 #112 (1930) Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit bold and daring, Bear witness as in days of long ago. The watchmen on the walls of Zion Embolden Thou to move against the foe. May they go forth to lands beyond the sea And bring the Gentile nations, Lord, to Thee. 2 O that Thy fire might soon be kindled, O that its flames to ev'ry land might leap! O Lord, send may faithful servants Thy harvest fields thro'out the world to reap. A harvest great presents itself to view, But they who reap the harvest are so few! 3 The prayer Thy Son Himself has taught us, We offer it to Thee at His command; Behold how ev'rywhere Thy children As suppliants, O Lord, before Thee stand, With yearning hearts to make this ardent plea; So hear us, Lord, and say, Thus shall it be! 4 Send hosts of men to preach the Gospel, In spirit strong, in perils unafraid; Make haste to help us in our weakness, And Satan's dark domain with might invade. The kingdoms of the earth for Thee reclaim, That ev'ry tongue may bless Thy holy name. Topics: The Means of Grace Missions Languages: English Tune Title: CRASSELIUS

Souls In Heathen Darkness Lying

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: ALH1930 #114 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Souls in heathen darkness lying, Where no light has broken through, Souls that Jesus bought by dying, Whom His soul in travail knew; Thousand voices, thousand voices Call us o’er the waters blue. 2 Christians, hearken! None has taught them Of His love so deep and dear; Of the precious price that bought them; Of the nail, the thorn, the spear; Ye who know Him, ye who know Him, Guide them from their darkness drear. 3 Haste, O haste, and spread the tidings Wide to earth’s remotest strand; Let no brother’s bitter chidings Rise against us when we stand In the judgment, in the judgment, From some far, forgotten land. 4 Lo, the hills for harvest whiten, All along each distant shore; Seaward far the islands brighten; Light of nations, lead us o’er: When we seek them, when we seek them, Let Thy Spirit go before.

Lift Up Your Eyes, Ye Christians

Author: C. K. Solberg Hymnal: ALH1930 #115 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Lift up your eyes, ye Christians, Behold the worldwide field Now ready for the harvest, Go make its precious yield. Arise, go forth to gather The fruit without delay! The ripened fields are waiting; This is your harvest day. 2 Lift up your eyes, ye Christians, The whole wide world to view: How plenteous the harvest, The laborers how few! How can you then be idle And linger by the way? Arise and join the reapers! This is your harvest day. 3 Lift up your eyes, ye Christians, And heed the Lord's command; Go, labor in His vineyard, And lend a helping hand! Like sheep without a shepherd So many go astray, Neglected they must perish; This is your harvest day. 4 Lift up your eyes, ye Christians, The harvest day is brief; O hear the cry of millions For rescue and relief! Let sacrifice and service Your life on earth portray; Help win the world for Jesus; This is your harvest day! 5 Lift up your eyes, ye Christians, Soon comes the gracious Lord; He comes to claim the faithful And give them His reward. Be faithful in your service And labor as you pray; For lo, the night is coming; This is your harvest day! Amen.

Fellow Christians, Let Us Gather

Author: C. K. Solberg Hymnal: ALH1930 #116 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Fellow Christians, let us gather Round the banner of the cross. We must win the unchurched millions, Lest they suffer endless loss. Multitudes are daily drifting Into ways of sin and shame; Christ Himself calls ev'ry Christian Straying sinners to reclaim. 2 We must hear and heed the challenge And the urgent call obey, Coming from our teeming cities, To regain without delay Wayward brethren, errant sisters, Groping in the night of sin; Jesus bids us go and seek them And compel them to come in. 3 As we view the unsaved masses, Who like sheep have gone astray, We must meet them with compassion Lest they perish by the way. In the heart of crowded cities Where the pow'rs of evil reign, We must carry on our mission Unsaved sinners to regain. 4 Let us not, like priest and Levite, Coldly pass the wretched by; What we preach, that let us practice, Lest our lives our lips deny; Let us be our brother's keeper, Prove our faith by works of love; Saved to serve, be this our watchword, Till we join the hosts above. 5 We beseech Thee, blessed Savior, Ev'ry Christian's heart control With an ever present passion For the unconverted soul. O baptize with Thy good Spirit Ev'ry member of Thy fold! Bless the labors of Thy servants As on Pentecost of old! Amen.

Lord, Thine Ancient People See
