Jesus, immortal King, arise

Author: A. C. H. Seymour, 1789-1870 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #272b (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 Jesus, immortal King, arise; Assert Thy rightful away, Till earth, subdued, its tribute brings, And distant lands obey. 2 Ride forth, victorious Conqueror, ride, Till all Thy foes submit, And all the powers of hell resign Their trophies at Thy feet. 3 Send forth Thy word, and let it fly The spacious earth around, Till every soul beneath the sky Shall hear the joyful sound. 4 O may the great Redeemer's name Through very clime be known! And heathen gods, forsaken, fall, And Jesus reign alone. 5 From sea to sea, from shore to shore, Be Thou, O Christ, adored! And earth, with all her millions, shout, Hosannas to the Lord.

The morning light is breaking

Author: Dr. S. F. Smith, 1808-1895 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #285 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 The morning light is breaking; The darkness disappears; The sons of earth are waking To penitential tears. Each breeze that sweeps the ocean Brings tidings from afar, Of nations in commotion, Prepared for Zion's war. 2 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 Saviour's blessing, A nation in a day. 3 Blest river of salvation, Pursue thine 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!"

Can I His loving voice despise, And basely His kind care repay? He calls me still; can I delay? 3 God calling yet! and shall He knock, And I my heart the closer lock? He still is waiting to receive, And shall I dare His Spirit grieve? 4 God calling yet! and shall I give No heed, but still in bondage live? I wait, but He does not forsake; He calls me still; my heart, awake! 5 God calling yet! I cannot stay; My heart I yield without delay: Vain world, farewell, from thee I part; The voice of God hath reached my heart. Languages: English Tune Title: HAMBURG

Depth of mercy! Can there be

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #331 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism Lyrics: 1 Depth of mercy! Can there be Mercy still reserved for me? Can my God His wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare? I have long withstood His grace, Long provoked Him to His face, Would not hearken to His calls, Grieved Him by a thousand falls. 2 Whence to me this waste of love? Ask my Advocate above; See the cause in Jesus' face. Now before the throne of grace. There for me the Saviour stands, Shows His wounds, and spread His hands; God is love! I know, I feel; Jesus weeps, and loves me still! 3 Jesus, answer from above; Is not all Thy nature love? Wilt thou not the wrong forget, Suffering me to kiss Thy feet? If I rightly read Thy heart, If Thou all compassion art, Bow Thine ear, in mercy bow, Pardon and accept me now. Languages: English Tune Title: CULFORD

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! 2 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 ascend, 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 Thine angels fair; From vice, oppression, and despair, God save the people! Amen.

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war

Author: S. Baring-Gould, 1834 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #381 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, Looking unto Jesus, who is gone before! Christ, the Royal Master, leads against the foe; Forward into battle see His banners go. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before! 2 Like a mighty army, moves the Church of God; Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod; We are not divided, all one body we, One in hope and doctrine, one in charity. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before! 3 Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus constant will remain; Gates of hell can never gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, which can never fail. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before! 4 Onward, then, ye people, join our happy throng; Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song. Glory, laud, and honour, men and angels sing, Through the countless ages, unto Christ the King. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before!

There's a light upon the mountains

Author: Dr. Henry Burton, 1840- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #399 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service; Kingdom of Christ (See Missions) Of God Lyrics: 1 There's a light upon the mountains and the day is at the spring, When our eyes shall see the beauty and the glory of the King: Weary was our heart with waiting, and the night-watch seemed so long, But His triumph-day is breaking and we hail it with a song. 2 In the fading of the starlight we may see the coming morn; And the lights of men are paling in the splendours of the dawn: For the eastern skies are glowing as with light of hidden fire, And the hearts of men are stirring with the throbs of deep desire. 3 He is breaking down the barriers, He is casting up the way; He is calling for His angels to build up the gates of day: But His angels here are human, not the shining hosts above; For the drum-beats of His army are the heart-beats of our love.
