Look from Thy sphere of endless day

Author: W. C. Bryant Hymnal: HRGC1892 #251b (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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! 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to Thy 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, That makes us sadden as we gaze, Shall grow with living waters green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Look from Thy sphere of endless day]

The morning light is breaking

Author: S. F. Smith Hymnal: HRGC1892 #252a (1894) Meter: 7.6 D 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 Sion'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 thy 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!" Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [The morning light is breaking]

Fling out the banner! let it float

Author: Bp. G. W. Doane Hymnal: HRGC1892 #253 (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Fling out the banner! let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide; The sun that lights its shining folds, The cross, on which the Saviour died. 2 Fling out the banner! angels bend In anxious silence o'er the sign; And vainly seek to comprehend The wonder of the love divine. 3 Fling out the banner! heathen lands Shall see from far the glorious sight, And nations, crowding to be born, Baptize their spirits in its light. 4 Fling out the banner! sin-sick souls That sink and perish in the strife, Shall touch in faith its radiant hem, And spring immortal into life. 5 Fling out the banner! let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide, Our glory, only in the cross; Our only hope, the Crucified! 6 Fling out the banner! wide and high, Seaward and skyward, let it shine: Nor skill, nor might, nor merit ours; We conquer only in that sign. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Fling out the banner! let it float]

From Greenland's icy mountains

Author: Bp. R. Heber Hymnal: HRGC1892 #254 (1894) Meter: 7.6 D Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, 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, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though every 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 Can we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high; Can 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. Languages: English Tune Title: [From Greenland's icy mountains]

Hasten the time appointed

Author: Jane Borthwick Hymnal: HRGC1892 #255 (1894) Meter: 7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Hasten the time appointed, By prophets long foretold, When all shall dwell together, One Shepherd and one Fold. Let every idol perish, To moles and bats be thrown, And every prayer be offered To God in Christ alone. 2 Let Jew and Gentile, meeting From many a distant shore Around one altar kneeling, One common Lord adore. Let all that now divides us Remove and pass away, Like shadows of the morning Before the blaze of day. 3 Let all that now unites us More sweet and lasting prove, A closer bond of union, In a blest land of love. Let war be learned no longer, Let strife and tumult cease, All earth His blessèd kingdom, The Lord and Prince of Peace. 4 O long-expected dawning, Come with thy cheering ray! When shall the morning brighten, The shadows flee away? O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on To pray, and hope, and labour, Till the dark night be gone. Amen.

Souls in heathen darkness lying

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: HRGC1892 #256 (1894) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Souls in heathen darkness lying, Where no light has broken through, Souls that Jesus bought by dying, Whom His soul in travail knew: Thousand voices Call us, o'er the waters blue. 2 Christians, hearken! None has taught them Of His love so deep and dear; Of the precious price that bought them; Of the nail, the thorn, the spear; Ye who know Him, Guide them from their darkness drear. 3 Haste, Oh haste, and spread the tidings, Wide to earth's remotest strand; Let no brother's bitter chidings Rise against us, when we stand In the Judgment, From some far, forgotten land. 4 Lo! the hills for harvest whiten, All along each distant shore; Seaward far the islands brighten; Light of nations! lead us o'er; When we seek them, Let Thy Spirit go before. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Souls in heathen darkness lying]

Saviour, sprinkle many nations

Author: Bishop Coxe Hymnal: HRGC1892 #257a (1894) Meter: 8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Saviour, sprinkle many nations; Fruitful let Thy sorrows be; By Thy pains and consolations Draw the Gentiles unto Thee! 2 Of Thy cross the wondrous story, Be it to the nations told; Let them see Thee in Thy glory And Thy mercy manifold. 3 Far and wide, though all unknowing, Pants for Thee each mortal breast, Human tears for Thee are flowing, Human hearts in Thee would rest. 4 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. 5 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. 6 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! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Saviour, sprinkle many nations]

Author: Ernest Hawkins Hymnal: HRGC1892 #258 (1894) Meter: 8.7 First Line: Lord, a Saviour's love displaying Lyrics: 1 Lord, a Saviour's love displaying, Show the heathen lands Thy way; Thousands still like sheep are straying In the dark and cloudy day. 2 Shades of death are gathering o'er them, Lord, they perish from Thy sight! Let Thine angel go before them; Bring the Gentiles to Thy light. 3 Fetch them home from every nation, From the islands of the sea; By the word of Thy salvation Call the wanderers back to Thee. 4 Thou their pasture hast provided, Grant the blessing long foretold; Let Thy sheep, divinely guided, Find at last the one true fold.
