Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's command
Author: Laura S. Copenhaver Hymnal: HPAG1933 #379 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's commands,
Immortal tidings in your mortal hands,
Pass on and carry swift the news ye bring:
Make straight, make straight the highway of the King.
2 Through desert ways, dark fen, and deep morass,
Through jungles, sluggish seas, and mountain pass,
Build ye the road, and falter not, nor stay;
Prepare across the earth the King's highway.
3 Where once the crooked trail in darkness wound
Let marching feet and joyous song resound,
Where burn the funeral pyres, and censers swing,
Make straight, make straight the highway of the King.
4 Lord, give us faith and strength the road to build,
To see the promise of the day fulfilled,
When war shall be no more and strife shall cease
Upon the highway of the Prince of Peace.
Amen. Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Missions; Friendship, World; Missions; Peace, International Tune Title: NATIONAL HYMN
Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's command
Light of light that shineth
Author: Rev. Godfrey Thring Hymnal: HPAG1933 #380 (1950) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain First Line: From the eastern mountains Lyrics: 1 From the eastern mountains
Pressing on they come,
Wise Men in their wisdom,
To His humble home;
Stirred by deep devotion,
Hasting from afar,
Ever journeying onward,
Guided by a star.
Refrain:
Light of light that shineth
Ere the worlds began,
Draw Thou near, and lighten
Every heart of man.
2 Gather in the people,
All who've gone astray,
Throw Thy radiance o'er them,
Guide them on their way:
Those who never knew Thee,
Those who've wandered far,
Lead them by the brightness
Of Thy guiding Star. [Refrain]
3 Onward through the darkness
Of the lonely night,
Shining still before them
With Thy kindly light,
Guide them all, Thy children,
Homeward from afar,
Young and old together,
By Thy guiding Star. [Refrain]

Light of light that shineth
Ye Christian heralds, go proclaim
Author: Rev. Bourne H. Draper Hymnal: HPAG1933 #381 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Ye Christian heralds, go proclaim
Salvation through Emmanuel's Name;
To distant climes the tidings bear,
And plant the Rose of Sharon there.
2 God shield you with a wall of fire,
With flaming zeal your hearts inspire,
Bid raging winds their fury cease,
And hush the tempests into peace.
3 And when our labors all are o'er,
Then we shall meet to part no more;
Meet with the ransomed throng to fall,
And crown our Jesus Lord of all.

Ye Christian heralds, go proclaim
Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace
Author: Mary Ann Thomson Hymnal: HPAG1933 #382 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10.9.11 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 Behold how many thousands still are lying
Bound in the darksome prison house of sin,
With none to tell them of the Saviour's dying,
Or of the life He died for them to win. [Refrain]
3 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 man might live above. [Refrain]
4 He comes again: O Zion, ere thou meet Him,
Make known to every heart His saving grace;
Let none whom He hath ransomed fail to greet Him,
Through thy neglect, unfit to see His face. [Refrain]

And make them conquerors, conquering, Lord,

Send Thou, O Lord, to every place
Fling out the banner! let it float
Author: Bishop George W. Doane Hymnal: HPAG1933 #384 (1950) 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! distant 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.

Fling out the banner! let it float
From Greenland's icy mountains
Author: Bishop Reginald Heber Hymnal: HPAG1933 #385 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 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 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 each remotest nation
Has learned Messiah's Name.
3 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. Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Missions; Missions Tune Title: MISSIONARY HYMN
From Greenland's icy mountains
O Son of God, our Captain of salvation
Author: Rev. John Ellerton (1826-1893) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #386 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 O Son of God, our Captain of salvation,
Thyself by suffering schooled to human grief,
We bless Thee for Thy sons of consolation,
Who follow in the steps of Thee their Chief;
2 Those whom Thy Spirit's dread vocation severs
To lead the vanguard of Thy conquering host;
Whose toilsome years are spent in brave endeavors
To bear Thy saving Name from coast to coast;
3 And all true helpers, patient, kind, and skillful,
Who shed Thy light across our darkened earth,
Counsel the doubting, and restrain the willful,
Soothe the sick bed, and share the children's mirth.
4 Thus, Lord, Thy blessed saints in memory keeping,
Still be Thy Church's watchword, "Comfort ye,"
Till in our Father's house shall end all weeping,
And every want be satisfied in Thee.

O Son of God, our Captain of salvation
O Christ, forget not them who stand
Author: Margaret E. Sangster (1838-1912) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #387 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, forget not them who stand
Thy vanguard in the distant land.
In flood, in flame, in dark, in dread,
Sustain, we pray, each lifted head.
2 Thine is the work they strive to do,
Their foes so many, they so few,
Be with Thine own, Thy loved, who stand,
Christ’s vanguard, in the storm-swept land.
Amen. Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Missions; Missions Tune Title: MISSIONARY CHANT
O Christ, forget not them who stand
