Longing for the spread of the Gospel
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDXXVIII (1792) Topics: Associations of Christians and churches Spread of the gospel longed for; Spread of the Gospel desired First Line: O'er the gloomy hills of darkness Lyrics: 1 O'er the gloomy hills of darkness,
Look, my soul, be still, and gaze,
All the promises do travail
With a glorious day of grace:
Blessed Jubilee,
Let thy glorious morning dawn.
2 Let the Indian, let the Negro,
Let the rude Barbarian see,
That divine and glorious conquest
Once obtain'd on calvary;
Let the gospel
Loud resound from pole to pole.
3 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness,
Grant them, Lord, the glorious light,
And from eastern coast to western,
May the morning chase the night,
And redemption,
Freely purchas'd, win the day.
4 May the glorious day approaching,
From eternal darkness dawn,
And the everlasting gospel
Spread abroad thy holy name;
All the borders
Of the great Immanuel's land.
5 Fly abroad thou mighty gospel
Win and conquer, never cease;
May thy lasting wide dominions
Multiply, and still increase;
Sway thy sceptre,
Savior, all the world around.

The spacious earth around,

For all the wonders of Thy grace!
Fain would we Thy great Name record,
And worthily set forth Thy praise.
Dear Object of our faith and love,
To Whom our more than all we owe,
Open the fountain from above,
And let it on our spirits flow.
2 So shall our lives Thy power proclaim,
Thy grace for every sinner free,
Till all mankind shall know Thy Name,
Shall all stretch out their hands to Thee,
Open a door, which earth and hell
May strive to shut but strive in vain;
Grant that Thy Word may richly dwell
Among us and our fruit remain!
3 O multiply Thy sowers’ seed,
And fruit we every hour shall bear,
Throughout the world Thy Gospel spread,
Thy everlasting grace declare.
We all, in perfect love renewed,
Shall know the greatness of Thy power,
Stand in the temple of our God
As pillars, and go out no more. Languages: English Tune Title: PILGRIMAGE
