Eternal Father, Thou hast said

Author: Dr. R. Palmer, 1808-1887 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Gospel Spread of Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, Thou hast said, That Christ all glory shall obtain; That He who once a sufferer bled Shall o'er the world a conqueror reign. 2 We wait Thy triumph, Saviour King; Long ages have prepared Thy way; Now all abroad Thy banner fling, Set time's great battle in array. 3 Thy hosts are mustered to the field; "The Cross! the Cross!" the battle-call: The old grim towers of darkness yield, And soon shall totter to their fall. 4 On mountain-tops the watch-fires glow, Where scattered wide the watchmen stand; Voice echoes voice, and onward flow The joyous shouts from land to land. 5 O fill Thy Church with faith and power! Bid her long night of weeping cease; To groaning nations haste the hour Of life and freedom, light and peace. 6 Come, Spirit, make Thy wonders known, Fulfil the Father's high decree; Then earth, the might of hell o'erthrown, Shall keep her last great jubilee.

See how great a flame aspires

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 112 hymnals Topics: Gospel Spread of Lyrics: 1 See how great a flame aspires, Kindled by a spark of grace! Jesus' love the nations fires, Sets the kingdoms on a blaze; To bring fire on earth He came, Kindled in some hearts it is; O that all might catch the flame, All partake the glorious bliss! 2 When He first the work begun, Small and feeble was His day; Now the word doth swiftly run, Now it wins its widening way; More and more it spreads and grows, Ever mighty to prevail, Sin's strongholds it now o'erthrows, Shakes the trembling gates of hell. 3 Sons of God, your Saviour praise! He the door hath opened wide; He hath given the word of grace, Jesus' word is glorified; Jesus, mighty to redeem, He alone the work hath wrought; Worthy is the work of Him, Him who spake a world from nought. 4 Saw ye not the cloud arise, Little as a human hand Now it spreads along the skies, Hangs o'er all the thirsty land; Lo! the promise of a shower Drops already from above; But the Lord will shortly pour All the Spirit of His love!

In Christ There Is No East or West

Eternal Father, Thou hast said

See how great a flame aspires

Saviour sprinkle many nations

Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them

The blood-red Banner

Thy mercy, Lord, to us dispense

Now be the gospel banner

From all that dwell below the skies

Our country's voice is pleading
