Go, and the Saviour's grace proclaim
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #544 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Go, and the Saviour's grace proclaim,
Ye messengers of God;
Go, publish, thro' Immanuel's name,
Salvation bought with blood.
2 What tho' your arduous track may lie
Thro' regions dark as death;
What tho' your faith and zeal to try,
Perils beset your path:
3 Yet, with determin'd courage, go,
And, arm'd with pow'r divine,
Your God will needful aid bestow,
And on your labours shine.
4 He who has call'd you to the war
Will recompense your pains;
Before Messiah's conqu'ring ear,
Mountains shall sink to plains.
5 Shrink not tho' earth and hell oppose,
But plead your Master's cause;
Nor doubt that e'en your mighty foes
Shall bow before his cross.
Go, and the Saviour's grace proclaim
Kindred, and friends, and native land
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #551 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Kindred, and friends, and native land,
How shall we say farewell?
How, when our swelling sails expand,
How will our bosoms swell!
2 Yes, nature, all thy soft delights,
And tender ties we know;
But love, more strong than death, unites
To Him that bids us go.
3 Thus, when our ev'ry passion mov'd,
The gushing tear-drop starts;
The cause of Jesus more belov'd,
Shall glow within our hearts.
4 The sighs we breathe for precious souls,
Where He is yet unknown,
Might waft us to the distant poles,
Or to the burning zone.
5 With the warm wish our bosoms swell,
Our glowing pow'rs expand;
Farewell--then we can say,--Farewell,
Our friends, our native land!
Kindred, and friends, and native land
Father of faithful Abra'm, hear
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #553 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Father of faithful Abra'm, hear
Our earnest suit for Abra'm's seed,
Justly they claim the softest pray'r
From those adopted in their stead:
2 Outcast from thee, and scatter'd wide
Thro' every nation under heav'n,
Rejecting whom they crucified,
Unsav'd, unpity'd, unforgiv'n.
3 But hast thou finally forsook,
For ever cast thy own away?
No--thou wilt bid them turn and look
On him they pierc'd, and mourn and pray?
4 Come then, thou great Deliver'r, come,
The veil from Jacob's heart remove;
Receive thy ancient people home,
That they may sing redeeming love.
Father of faithful Abra'm, hear
Good shepherd, great shepherd
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #554 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn First Line: Shepherd of Israel, thou didst lead Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of Israel, thou didst lead
Thy chosen flock the desert through,
And from between the cherubim
Thy mercy and thy favour show.
2 And though their sins provoked thee oft,
To give them to their foes a prey,
Yet didst thou, for thy mercy sake
As often turn thy wrath away.
3 But, ah! they fill'd the measure up
Of all their aggravated guilt,
When on the hill of Calvary
The blood of thine own Son they spilt.
4 And now for ages they have been
Cast out and banish'd from thy sight,
Wandering through all the earth, as those
In whom thou hast no more delight.
5 Yet is thy word of promise sure,
That they shall be again restor'd,
And with the gentile church unite
To worship and to serve the Lord.
6 Our faith in expectation waits,
To see that glorious morning rise,
O bid the shadows flee away,
And satisfy our longing eyes.
Good shepherd, great shepherd
Jesus, thy wand'ring sheep behold!
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #556 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Pastoral Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thy wand'ring sheep behold!
See, Lord, with yearning bowels, see,
Poor souls that cannot find the fold,
Till sought and gather'd in by thee.
2 Lost are they now, and scatter'd wide,
In pain, and weariness, and want;
With no kind Shepherd near, to guide
The sick, and spiritless and faint.
3 Thou, only thou, the kind and good,
And sheep-redeeming Shepherd art;
Collect thy flock, and give them food
And pastors after thine own heart.
4 Give the pure word of gen'ral grace,
And great shall be the preacher's crowd;
Preachers, who all the sinful race
Point to the all atoning blood.
5 In every messenger reveal
The grace they preach divinely free;
That each may by thy Spirit tell,
"He died for all, who died for me."
6 A double portion from above,
Of thine all-quick'ning grace impart;
Shed forth thy universal love,
In every faithful Pastor's heart.
Jesus, thy wand'ring sheep behold!
O that I were as heretofore
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #557 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Pastoral Lyrics: 1 O that I were as heretofore;
When first sent forth in Jesus' name,
I rush'd through every open door,
And cried to all, "behold the Lamb!"
2 The God who kills and makes alive,
To me the quickening power impart;
Thy grace restore, thy work revive,
Retouch my lips, renew my heart.
3 I would the precious time redeem,
And longer live for this alone,
To spend, and to be spent for them
Who have not yet my Saviour known.
4 My talents, gifts, and graces, Lord,
Into thy blessed hands receive;
And let me live to preach thy word,
And let me for thy glory live.
5 Enlarge, inflame, and fill my heart
with boundless charity divine:
So shall I all my strength exert,
And love them with a zeal like thine.
Scripture: Job 29:2
O that I were as heretofore
Shepherd of souls, if thou indeed
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #559 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Pastoral Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of souls, if thou indeed
Hast rais'd me up thy flock to feed,
(Thy meanest servant me,)
O may I all thy burdens share,
And gently in my bosom bear,
The lambs redeem'd by thee.
2 Thy Spirit send me from above,
Spirit of meek, long-suffering love,
Of all-sufficient grace;
Endue me with thy constant mind,
So good, so obstinately kind
To our rebellious race.
3 A faithful steward of my Lord,
Give me to minister thy word,
And in thy steps to tread;
By every sore temptation tried,
By sufferings fully qualified
Thy ailing flock to lead.
Shepherd of souls, if thou indeed
Draw near, O Son of God, draw near
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #561 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Pastoral Lyrics: 1 Draw near, O Son of God, draw near,
Us with thy flaming eye behold;
Still in thy church vouchsafe t'appear,
And let our candlestick be gold.
2 Still hold the stars in thy right hand,
And let them in thy lustre glow,
The lights of a benighted land,
The angels of thy church below.
3 Make good their apostolic boast,
Their high commission let them prove,
Be temples of the Holy ghost,
And fill'd with faith, and hope, and love.
4 Their hearts from things of earth remove,
Sprinkle them, Lord, from sin and fear;
Fix their affections all above,
And lay up all their treasures there.
5 Give them an ear to hear thy word;
Thou speakest to the churches now:
And let all tongues confess their Lord,
Let every knee to Jesus bow.
Draw near, O Son of God, draw near
Equip me for the war
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #562 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Pastoral Lyrics: 1 Equip me for the war,
And teach my hands to fight;
My simple, upright heart prepare,
And guide my words aright.
2 Control my ev'ry thought;
My whole of sin remove;
Let all my works in thee be wrought,
Let all be wrought in love.
3 O arm me with the mind,
Meek Lamb, that was in thee!
And let my knowing zeal be join'd
With perfect charity.
4 With calm and temper'd zeal,
Let me enforce thy call;
And vindicate thy gracious will,
Which offers life to all.
5 O may I love like thee!
In all thy footsteps tread;
Thou hatest all inquity,
But nothing thou hast made.
6 O may I learn the art,
With meekness to reprove!
And hate the sin with all my heart,
But still the sinner love. Scripture: Ephesians 6:13
Equip me for the war
My brethren, from my heart belov'd
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #563 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Pastoral Lyrics: 1 My brethren from my heart belov'd,
Whose welfare fills my daily care,
My present joy, my future crown,
The word of exhortation hear.
2 Stand fast upon the solid rock
Of the Redeemer's righteousness:
Adorn the gospel with your lives,
And practise what your lips profess.
3 With pleasure meditate the hour,
When he, descending from the skies,
Shall bid your bodies, mean and vile,
In his all-glorious image rise.
4 Glory in his dear, honor'd name,
To him inviolably cleave:
Your all he purchas'd by his blood,
Nor let him less than all receive.
5 Such is your pastor's faithful charge,
Whose soul desires not yours, but you;
O may he, at the Lord's right hand,
Himself and all his people view! Scripture: Philippians 4:1
My brethren, from my heart belov'd
