Heermann Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace Missions Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Illumine those who sit in night; Yea, let them hear Thy pleading voice And in Thy fold with us rejoice. 2 O let Thy grace, that light divine, For erring souls in brightness shine; Help those whom in their secret minds Some dark delusion haunts and blinds. 3 And all who else have strayed from Thee Do Thou reclaim, and let them be In conscience made both pure and whole; May heaven be their final goal! 4 O cause the deaf Thy Word to hear, And cure the dumb from coward fear, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Tho' secretly they hold it now. 5 Restore the blind and warm the cold, Bring back the straying to Thy fold, Let not the scattered stand apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart. 6 May they with us Thy name adore And thank Thee, Lord, for evermore. Let all Thine own exalt Thy love On earth and in their home above. Used With Tune: BRESLAU

From Greenland's Icy Mountains

Author: Bishop Reginald Heber Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,691 hymnals Topics: Means of Grace Missions Lyrics: 1. From Greenland's icy mountain, 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, Christ calls us to deliver His lands from error's chain. 2. What tho' the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though ev'ry prospect pleases, And only man is vile? In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strown; The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. 3. Shall we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Shall we 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. 4. 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. Amen. Used With Tune: MISSIONARY HYMN

Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken

Author: John Newton Appears in 1,311 hymnals Topics: The Church and Means of Grace The Church Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken, Form'd thee for His own abode; On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint, while such a river Ever flows their thirst t'assuage. Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a cov'ring, Showing that the Lord is near; Thus they march, the pillar leading. Light by night and shade by day; Daily on the manna feeding Which He gives them when they pray. 4 Savior, if of Zion's city I, thro' grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know. Used With Tune: AUSTRIA
