The morning light is breaking
Author: Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: The Hymnal #479 (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
The morning light is breaking;
The darkness disappears;
The sons of earth are waking
To penitential tears;
437
Each breeze that sweeps the ocean
Brings tidings from afar,
Of nations in commotion,
Prepared for Sion's war.
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 Savior's blessing,
A nation in a day.
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!"

The morning light is breaking
Christ for the world we sing!
Author: Samuel Wolcott Hymnal: The Hymnal #486a (1916) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Christ for the world we sing!
The world to Christ we bring,
With loving zeal;
The poor, and them that mourn,
The faint and overborne,
Sinsick and sorrow-worn,
Whom Christ doth heal.
443
Christ for the world we sing!
The world to Christ we bring,
With fervent prayer;
The wayward and the lost,
By restless passions tossed,
Redeemed at countless cost,
From dark despair.
Christ for the world we sing!
The world to Christ we bring,
With one accord;
With us the work to share,
With us reproach to dare,
With us the cross to bear,
For Christ our Lord.
Christ for the world we sing!
The world to Christ we bring,
With joyful song;
The newborn souls, whose days,
Reclaimed from error's ways,
Inspired with hope and praise,
To Christ belong.

Christ for the world we sing!
Go, labour on! spend and be spent!
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Hymnal #490 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Go, labour on! spend and be spent!
Thy joy to do the Father's will;
It is the way the Master went;
Should not the servant tread it still?
Go, labour on! 'tis not for naught;
Thine earthly loss is heavenly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not;
The Master praises: what are men?
Go, labour on! enough, while here,
If he shall praise thee, if he deign
The willing heart to mark and cheer:
No toil for him shall be in vain.
Go, labour on, while it is day!
The world's dark night is hastening on:
Speed, speed thy work! cast sloth away!
It is not thus that souls are won.
447
Toil on! faint not! keep watch, and pray!
Be wise the erring soul to win!
Go forth into the world's highway!
Compel the wanderer to come in!
Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice!
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice,
The midnight peal, "Behold, I come!"

Master, no offering
Author: Edwin P. Parker Hymnal: The Hymnal #500 (1916) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Master, no offering,
Costly and sweet,
May we, like Magdalene,
Lay at thy feet;
Yet may love's incense rise,
Sweeter than sacrifice,
Dear Lord, to thee.
Daily our lives would show
Weakness made strong,
Toilsome and gloomy ways
Brightened with song;
Some deeds of kindness done,
Some souls by patience won,
Dear Lord, to thee.
Some word of hope, for hearts
Burdened with fears,
Some balm of peace, for eyes
Blinded with tears:
Some dews of mercy shed,
Some wayward footstep led,
Dear Lord, to thee.
Thus, in thy service, Lord,
Till eventide
Closes the day of life,
May we abide.
And when earth's labors cease,
Bid us depart in peace,
Dear Lord, to thee.
Amen.

Master, no offering
When wilt Thou save the people?
Author: Ebenezer Elliot Hymnal: The Hymnal #501 (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8.8.5 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
When wilt thou save the people?
O God of mercy, when?
Not kings and lords, but nations!
Not thrones and crowns, but men!
Flowers of thy heart, O God, are they;
Let them not pass, like weeds, away,
Their heritage a sunless day.
God save the people!
Shall crime bring crime for ever,
Strength aiding still the strong?
Is it thy will, O Father,
That man shall toil for wrong?
"No," say thy mountains; "No," thy skies;
Man's clouded sun shall brightly rise,
And songs be heard instead of sighs;
God save the people!
When wilt thou save the people?
O God of mercy, when?
The people, Lord, the people,
Not thrones and crowns, but men!
God save the people; thine they are,
Thy children, as thy angels fair;
From vice, oppression, and despair,
God save the people!
Amen.

O Heavenly Jerusalem
Author: Isaac Williams Hymnal: The Hymnal #509a (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
O Heavenly Jerusalem,
Of everlasting halls,
Thrice blessèd are the people
Thou storest in thy walls.
Thou art the golden mansion,
Where saints for ever sing,
The seat of God's own chosen,
The palace of the King.
464
There God for ever sitteth,
Himself of all the crown;
The Lamb, the Light that shineth,
And never goeth down.
Naught to this seat approacheth
Their sweet peace to molest;
They sing their God for ever,
Nor day nor night they rest.
Sure hope doth thither lead us;
Our longings thither tend;
May shortlived toil ne'er daunt us
For joys that cannot end.
To Christ, the Sun that lightens
His Church above, below;
To Father, and to Spirit
All things created bow.
Amen.

O Heavenly Jerusalem
O mother dear, Jerusalem
Author: "F. B. P." Hymnal: The Hymnal #510a (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
O mother dear, Jerusalem,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
O happy harbour of God's saints!
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow can be found,
Nor grief, nor care, nor toil.
No murky cloud o'ershadows thee,
Nor gloom, nor darksome night;
But every soul shines as the sun;
For God himself gives light.
465
O my sweet home, Jerusalem,
Thy joys when shall I see?
The King that sitteth on thy throne
In his felicity?
Thy gardens and thy goodly walks
Continually are green,
Where grow such sweet and pleasant flowers
As nowhere else are seen.
Right through thy streets, with silver sound,
The living waters flow,
And on the banks, on either side,
The trees of life do grow.
Those trees for evermore bear fruit,
And evermore do spring:
There evermore the angels are
And evermore do sing.
Jerusalem, my happy home,
Would God I were in thee!
Would God my woes were at an end,
Thy joys that I might see!
