I love to tell the story
Author: Katherine Hankey, 1834 - 1911 Appears in 1,213 hymnals Topics: Church Life and Work The Propagation of the Gospel First Line: I love to tell the story Lyrics: 1 I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and his glory,
Of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story,
Because I know its true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else would do.
Refrain:
I love to tell the story;
'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and his love.
2 I love to tell the story,
'Tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it,
More wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story,
For some have never heard
The message of salvation
From God's own holy word. [Refrain]
3 I love to tell the story,
For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song,
'Twill be the old, old story,
That I have loved so long. [Refrain]

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 1,801 hymnals Topics: Church Life and Work The Propagation of the Gospel Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2 To him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown his head;
His Name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.
3 People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his Name.
4 Blessings abound where'er he reigns;
The prisoner leaps to lose his chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.
5 Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

And I thank thee for thy care;
Thou hast warmed me, clothed, and fed me,
Listen to my evening prayer. A-men.

Take me, Lord, at last to heaven,
Happy there with thee to dwell.

Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me
Look from thy sphere of endless day
Author: William Cullen Bryant, 1794 - 1878 Appears in 173 hymnals Topics: Church Life and Work The Propagation of the Gospel Lyrics: 1 Look from thy sphere of endless day,
O God of mercy and of might;
In pity look on those who stray,
Benighted in this land of light.
2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen,
In crowded mart, by stream or sea,
How many of the sons of men
Hear not the message sent from thee. A-men.
3 Send forth thy heralds, Lord, to call
The thoughtless young, the hardened old,
A scattered flock, and bring them all
To the good Shepherd's peaceful fold.
4 Send them thy mighty word, to speak
Till faith shall dawn and doubt depart,
To awe the bold, to stay the weak,
And bind and heal the broken heart.
5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene
On which, with sorrowing eyes, we gaze,
Shall grow with living waters green,
And lift to heaven the voice of praise.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN

Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring.

Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above. A-men.
3 Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.

Author of liberty,

Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King. A-men.

Make known to every heart his saving grace;

Saviour, sprinkle many nations
Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe, 1818 - 96 Appears in 160 hymnals Topics: Church Life and Work The Propagation of the Gospel Lyrics: 1 Savior, sprinkle many nations;
Fruitful let thy sorrows be;
By thy pains and consolations
Draw the Gentiles unto thee.
Of thy Cross the wondrous story
Be it to the nations told;
Let them see thee in thy glory
And thy mercy manifold. A-men.
2 Far and wide, though all unknowing,
Pants for thee each mortal breast;
Human tears for thee are flowing,
Human hearts in thee would rest;
Thirsting as for dews of even,
As the new-mown grass for rain,
Thee they seek, as God of heaven,
Thee as Man for sinners slain.
3 Saviour, lo! the isles are waiting,
Stretched the hand, and strained the sight,
For thy Spirit new-creating,
Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light;
Give the word, and of the preacher
Speed the foot and touch the tongue,
Till on earth by every creature
Glory to the Lamb be sung.

And justice, from her heavenly bower,
Look down on mortal men. A-men.

This wicked earth redress;
For thou art he who shalt by right
The nations all possess.
4 The nations all whom thou hast made
Shall come, and all shall frame
To bow them low before thee, Lord,
And glorify thy Name.
5 For great thou art, and wonders great
By thy strong hand are done:
Thou in thy everlasting seat
Remainest God alone.

The morning light is breaking

The darkness disappears;
The sons of earth are waking
To penitential tears;
Each breeze that sweeps the ocean
Brings tidings from afar
Of nations in commotion,
Prepared for Zion's war.
2 See heathen nations bending
Before the God we love,
And thousand hearts ascending
In gratitude above;
While sinners, now confessing,
The gospel call obey,
And seek the Saviour's blessing,
A nation in a day.
3 Blest river of salvation,
Pursue thine onward way;
Flow thou to every nation,
Nor in thy richness stay;
Stay not till all the lowly
Triumphant reach their home;
Stay not till all the holy

Thou, by heavenly hosts adored

Gracious, mighty, sovereign Lord,
God of nations, King of kings,
Head of all created things,
By the Church with joy confest,
God o'er all for ever blest;
Pleading at thy throne we stand:
Save thy people, bless our land.
2 From all public sin and shame,
From ambition's grasping aim,
From rebellion, war and death,
From the pestilential breath,
From dread famine's awful stroke,
From oppression's galling yoke,
From the judgments of thy hand:
Spare thy people, spare our land.
3 Let our rulers ever be
Men that love and honor thee;
Let the powers by thee ordained
Be in righteousness maintained;
In the people's hearts increase
Love of piety and peace;
Thus united, we shall stand
One wide, free, and happy land.

Thou, by heavenly hosts adored
