The morning light is breaking

Author: Dr. S. F. Smith, 1808-1895 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #285 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 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 Proclaim, "The Lord is come!"

O North, with all thy vales of green!

Author: William Cullen Bryant, 1794-1878 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #289 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 O North, with all thy vales of green! O South, with all thy palms! From peopled towns and fields between Uplift the voice of psalms; Raise, ancient East, the anthem high, And let the youthful West reply. 2 Lo! in the clouds of heaven appears God's well-beloved Son; He brings a train of brighter years; His kingdom is begun. He comes, a guilty world to bless With mercy, truth, and righteousness. 3 O Father, haste the promised hour, When at His feet shall lie All rule, authority, and power, Beneath the ample sky; When He shall reign from pole to pole, The Lord of every human soul: 4 When all shall heed the words He said Amid their daily cares, And by the loving life He led Shall seek to pattern theirs; And He, who conquered death, shall win The nobler conquest over sin.

Author: Bp. A. C. Coxe, 1818-1896 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #294 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 Saviour, 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 to all the nations told; Let them see Thee in Thy glory, And Thy mercy manifold. 2 Far and wide, though all unknowing, Yearns 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.

He still is waiting to receive, And shall I dare His Spirit grieve? 4 God calling yet! and shall I give No heed, but still in bondage live? I wait, but He does not forsake; He calls me still; my heart, awake! 5 God calling yet! I cannot stay; My heart I yield without delay: Vain world, farewell, from thee I part; The voice of God hath reached my heart. Languages: English Tune Title: HAMBURG

Yes, she may forgetful be, Yet will I remember thee. 4 "Mine is an unchanging love, Higher than the heights above; Deeper than the depths beneath, Free and faithful, strong as death. 5 "Thou shalt see My glory soon, When the work of grace is done; Partner of My throne shalt be; Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me?" 6 Lord, it is my chief complaint That my love is cold and faint; Yet I love Thee and adore, O for grace to love Thee more!

Depth of mercy! Can there be

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #331 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism Lyrics: 1 Depth of mercy! Can there be Mercy still reserved for me? Can my God His wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare? I have long withstood His grace, Long provoked Him to His face, Would not hearken to His calls, Grieved Him by a thousand falls. 2 Whence to me this waste of love? Ask my Advocate above; See the cause in Jesus' face. Now before the throne of grace. There for me the Saviour stands, Shows His wounds, and spread His hands; God is love! I know, I feel; Jesus weeps, and loves me still! 3 Jesus, answer from above; Is not all Thy nature love? Wilt thou not the wrong forget, Suffering me to kiss Thy feet? If I rightly read Thy heart, If Thou all compassion art, Bow Thine ear, in mercy bow, Pardon and accept me now. Languages: English Tune Title: CULFORD

Creation's Lord, we give Thee thanks

Author: William deWitt Hyde, 1858- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #366 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 Creation's Lord, we give Thee thanks That this Thy world is incomplete; That battle calls our marshalled ranks, That work awaits our hands and feet; 2 That Thou hast not yet finished man, That we are in the making still As friends who share the Maker's plan, As sons who know the Father's will. 3 Beyond the present sin and shame, Wrong's bitter, cruel, scorching blight, We see the beckoning vision flame, The blessed Kingdom of the Right. 4 What though the Kingdom long delay, And still with haughty foes must cope? It gives us that for which to pray, A field for toil and faith and hope. 5 Since what we choose is what we are, And what we love we yet shall be, The goal may ever shine afar, The will to win it makes us free.
