Author: Mary A. Thomson Hymnal: CEL1997 #443 (1997) Meter: 11.10.11.10 with refrain First Line: O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling Lyrics: 1 O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling,
To tell to all the world that God is Light;
That He who made all nations is not willing
One soul should perish, lost in shades of night.
Refrain:
Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace;
Tidings of Jesus, redemption, and release.
2 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 we might live above. [Refrain]
3 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 all thy spending Jesus will repay. [Refrain]
