Publish glad tidings; tidings of peace

Author: Mary A. Thomson Hymnal: The Hymnal #474 (1916) Meter: Irregular Topics: Missions; Sunday Schools Missions First Line: O Sion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling Lyrics: O Sion, 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: Publish glad tidings; tidings of peace; Tidings of Jesus, Redemption and release. Behold how many thousands still are lying Bound in the darksome prison-house of sin, With none to tell them of the Savior's dying, Or of the life he died for them to win. 'Tis thine to save from peril of perdition The souls for whom the Lord his life laid down; Beware lest, slothful to fulfill thy mission, Thou lose one jewel that should deck his crown. 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. 433 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 thou spendest Jesus will repay. He comes again! O Sion, 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.

The Kingship of Jesus Christ

Hymnal: The Psalter #3 (1912) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Missions Encouragements of; Missions Difficulties of; Missions Triumphs of First Line: Wherefore do the nations rage Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage And the people vainly dream That in triumph they can wage War against the King supreme? Christ His Son a scoff they make, And the rulers, plotting, say: Their dominion let us break Let us cast their yoke away, Their dominion let us break, Let us cast their yoke away. 2 But the Lord will scorn them all, Calm, He sits enthroned on high; Soon His wrath will on them fall, Sore displeased He will reply: Yet according to My will I have set My King to reign, And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain; And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain. 3 This His word shall be made known, This Jehovah's firm decree: Thou art My beloved Son, Yea I have begotten Thee. All the earth at Thy request I will give Thee for Thy own; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown. 4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear, Hearken, judges of the earth; Learn to serve the Lord with fear. Mingle trembling with your mirth. Kiss the Son, lest o'er our way His consuming wrath should break; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take.

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! 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 Savior, 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. Tune Title: [Savior, sprinkle many nations]

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.

Send preachers forth, in spirit strong, Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host, Bold to attack the rule of wrong; Let them the earth for Thee reclaim, Thy heritage, to know Thy Name. 4 Would there were help within our walls! O let Thy Spirit come again, Before whom every barrier falls, And now once more shine forth as then! O rend the heavens and make us free! Come, Lord, and bring us back to Thee! 5 And let Thy Word have speedy course, Through every land be glorified, Till all the heathen know its force, And fill Thy churches far and wide; Wake Israel from her sleep, O Lord, And spread the conquests of Thy Word! 6 The Church's desert paths restore; Let stumbling-blocks that in them lie Hinder Thy Word henceforth no more: Error destroy, and heresy, And let Thy Church, from hirelings free, Bloom as a garden fair to Thee!

Through midnight gloom from Macedon

Author: S. J. Stone Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #118 (1913) Topics: The Church Missions; The Church Missions; Missions Lyrics: 1 Through midnight gloom from Macedon The cry of myriads as of one, The voiceful silence of despair, Is eloquent in awful prayer, The soul’s exceeding bitter cry, "Come o’er and help us, or we die." 2 How mournfully it echoes on! For half the earth is Macedon; These brethren to their brethren call, And by the Love which loved them all, And by the whole world’s Life they cry, "O ye that live, behold we die!" 3 By other sounds the world is won Than that which wails from Macedon; The roar of gain is round it rolled, Or men unto themselves are sold, And cannot list the alien cry, "O hear and help us, lest we die." 4 Yet with that cry from Macedon, The very car of Christ rolls on; "I come; who would abide My day In yonder wilds prepare My way; My voice is crying in their cry; Help ye the dying, lest ye die." 5 Jesus, for men of Man the Son, Yea, Thine the cry from Macedon; O by the kingdom and the power And glory of Thine advent hour, Wake heart and will to hear their cry; Help us to help them, lest we die.
