From Greenland's Icy Mountains
Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #367 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: A Missionary Service Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountain,
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 ev'ry 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 Shall we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Shall 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: MISSIONARY HYMN
From Greenland's Icy Mountains
Go Forth, Ye Heralds, in My Name
Author: James Maxwell Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #378 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: A Missionary Service Lyrics: 1 Go forth, ye heralds, in My Name,
Sweetly the Gospel trumpet sound;
The glorious jubilee proclaim,
Where'er the human race is found.
2 The joyful news to all impart,
And teach them where salvation lies;
With care bind up the broken heart,
And wipe the tears from weeping eyes.
3 Be wise as serpents where you go,
But harmless as the peaceful dove;
And let your heaven-taught conduct show
Ye are commissioned from above.
4 Freely from Me ye have received,
Freely, in love, to others give;
Thus shall your doctrines be believed,
And, by your labors, sinners live.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WENN WIR IN HÖCHSTEN NÖTHEN SEIN

Speed Thy Servants, Saviour, Speed Them
Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #373 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: A Missionary Service Lyrics: 1 Speed Thy servants, Saviour, speed them,
Ruler of the winds and waves,
They were bound, but Thou hast freed them;
Now they go to free the slaves.
Be Thou with them,
be Thou with them,
'Tis Thine arm alone that saves.
2 Friends, and home, and all forsaking,
Lord, they go at Thy command,
As their stay Thy promise taking,
While they traverse sea and land:
O be with them,
O be with them,
Lead them safely by the hand.
3 When no fruit appears to cheer them,
And they seem to toil in vain,
Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them,
Then their sinking hopes sustain.
Thus supported,
Thus supported,
Let their zeal revive again.
4 In the midst of opposition
Let them trust, O Lord, in Thee;
When success attends their mission,
Let Thy servants humbler be;
Never leave them,
Never leave them,
Till Thy face in heaven they see:
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE
Speed Thy Servants, Saviour, Speed Them
Winter Reigns o'er Many a Region
Author: Leonhard Meisser Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #377 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: A Missionary Service Lyrics: 1 Winter reigns o’er many a region,
Many a seed-field fallow lies;
When, O Lord, shall come the springtime,
With its quick'ning energies?
When shall this long night be ended?
When the morning dawn appear?
When shall drought give place to freshness?
When these deserts bloom with cheer?
2 Lord, Thy Church is ever praying:
Now her anxious yearnings hear;
Speed the triumphs of Thy Kingdom;
Spread its vict'ries far and near.
Own the work, Thy grace attend it,
Which we undertake for Thee;
Let a holy love inflame us;
Kindle zeal and fervency.
3 That Thy fields be rightly cultured,
Send the laborers that we need,
Men to light the heavy darkness,
Sow the wastes with precious seed.
Then send down the gentle showers,
Make Thy gracious sunlight shine,
That each field may joy with blessing,
Bringing forth the fruits divine.
4 By the breezes of Thy Spirit,
Fan all deadness into life;
Bless the seeds to Thee upspringing,
Keep each plant from blast and strife.
And, ye toilers in this seeding,
Know the promise God hath given:
Glorious crowns await the faithful,
And eternal gains in heaven.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: THEODORET

Jesus, Thy Church with Longing Eyes

For Thine expected coming waits:
When will the promised Light arise,
And glory beam from Zion's gates?

And wintry clouds o'ercast the sky,
Thy words with pleasure we recall,
And deem that our redemption's nigh.

Our foes repel, our wrongs redress,
Man's rooted enmity subdue,
And crown Thy gospel with success.

Let Satan from his throne be hurled;
Let nations bow to Thy command,
Let grace revive a dying world.

To wait for the appointed hour;
And fit us by Thy grace to share
The triumph of Thy conquering power.

Author: Johann Heermann; Miss Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #67 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: A Missionary Service Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light,
Illumine those who sit in night;
Let those afar now hear Thy voice,
And in Thy fold with us rejoice.
2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace
The souls now lost in error's maze,
And all, O Lord, whose secret minds,
Some dark delusion hurts and blinds.
3 And all who else have strayed from Thee,
O gently seek! Thy healing be
To every wounded conscience given,
And let them also share Thy heaven.
4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word,
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow,
Though secretly they hold it now.
5 Shine on the darkened and the cold,
Recall the wanderers to Thy fold,
Unite all those who walk apart,
Confirm the weak and doubting heart,
6 So they with us may evermore
Such grace with wondering thanks adore,
And endless praise to Thee be given
By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.
Amen. Scripture: John 8:12 Languages: English Tune Title: O JESU CHRIST, MEINS LEBENS LICHT

That Gentiles all may see,
And earth present her store
In converts born to Thee:

And fill the world with righteousness,
And fill the world with righteousness.

The one immortal King,
Let hallelujahs rise
From every living thing:
Let all that breathe, on every coast,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.

Hark! the Voice of Jesus Crying
Author: Daniel March Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #80 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: A Missionary Service Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of Jesus crying,
"Who will go and work today?
Fields are white, and harvests waiting;
Who will bear the sheaves away?"
Loud and long the Master calleth,
Rich reward He offers free;
Who will answer, gladly saying,
"Here am I; send me, send me"?
2 Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
While the souls of men are dying,
And the Master calls for you:
Gladly take the task He gives you,
Let His work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when He calleth,
"Here am I; send me, send me."
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 20:1-16 Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS ÄR MIN VÄN DEN BÄSTE

In spite of fraud and force;
God is before:
His Word ere long shall run
Free as the noonday sun;
His purpose must be done:--
God bless His Word!
