Prayer for Missionaries

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDXX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Missionaries prayed for First Line: Great God, the nations of the earth Lyrics: 1 Great God, the nations of the earth Are by creation thine; And in thy works by all beheld, Thy radiant glories shine. 2 But, Lord, thy greater love has sent Thy gospel to mankind, Unveiling what rich stores of grace Are treasur'd in thy mind. 3 Lord when shall these glad tidings spread The spacious earth around, 'Till every tribe, and every soul Shall hear the joyful sound: 4 O when shall Afric's sable sons Enjoy the heavenly word, And vassals long-enslav'd become The freemen of the Lord? 5 When shall th' untutor'd Heathen tribes, A dark bewilder'd race, Sit down at our Immanuel's feet, And learn and feel his grace? 6 Haste, sovereign mercy, and transform Their cruelty to love; Soften the tiger to a lamb, The vulture to a dove! 7 Smile, Lord, on each divine attempt To spread the gospel’s rays, And build on sin’s demolish'd throne, The temples of thy praise!

'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 then! Lead them safely by the hand. 3 When they reach the land of strangers, And the prospect dark appears, Nothing seen but toils and dangers, Nothing felt but doubts and fears, Be Thou with them! Hear their sighs and count their tears. 4 Where 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, Let their zeal revive again. 5 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: Till Thy face in heaven they see.
