From Greenland's Icy Mountains
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #322 (1982) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains
To India's coral strand,
From Africa's bright fountains
To Asia's golden sand,
From many an upland river
To many a coastal plain,
God would the lost deliver
From error's evil chain.
2 Our own land's fairest breezes
Bear sounds of steeple bells,
All nature's beauty pleases,
Yet man builds countless hells.
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown;
Throngs turn from him in blindness
To false gods of their own.
3 Can we whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Can we to those benighted
The lamp of life deny?
Salvation! Oh, salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim
Till those of every nation
Have learned Messiah's name. Topics: Missions Languages: English Tune Title: MISSIONARY HYMN

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #382 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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 Can men, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Can they 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.
3 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.

Bows down to wood and stone.

With wisdom from on high,
Shall we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny?
