Lord, her watch Thy Church is keeping

Author: Henry Downton, 1818-1885 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #293 (1917) Topics: Missions (See also Kingdom of Christ) Lyrics: 1 Lord, her watch Thy Church is keeping; When shall earth Thy rule obey? When shall end the night of weeping? When shall break the promised day? See the whitening harvest languish, Waiting still the labourers' toil; Was it vain, Thy Son's deep anguish? Shall the strong retain the spoil? 2 Tidings, sent to every creature, Millions yet have never heard; Can they hear without a preacher? Lord Almighty, give the Word: Give the Word; in every nation Let the gospel-trumpet sound, Witnessing a world's salvation To the earth's remotest bound. 3 Then the end: Thy Church completed, All Thy chosen gathered in, With their King in glory seated, Satan bound, and banished sin; Gone for ever parting, weeping, Hunger, sorrow, death, and pain; Lo! her watch Thy Church is keeping; Come, Lord Jesus, come to reign.

Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace

Author: Mrs. Mary A.

[Refrain] 3 'Tis thine to save, from peril of perdition, The souls for whom the Lord His life laid down; Beware lest, slothful to fulfil thy mission, Thou lose one jewel that should deck His crown. [Refrain] 4 Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation That God, in whom they live and move, is Love: Tell how He stooped to save His lost creation, And died on earth that man might live above. [Refrain] 5 Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious, Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way, Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious And haste the coming of the glorious day. [Refrain] 6 He comes again O Zion, ere thou meet Him, Make known to every heart His saving grace; Let none whom He hath ransomed fail to greet Him, Through thy neglect, unfit to see His face. [Refrain] Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ANGELIC SONGS
