Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Hymnal #303 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Parochial Missions; Parochial Missions Lyrics: Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat, Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before his feet, For none can perish there. Thy promise is my only plea, With this I venture nigh; Thou callest burdened souls to thee, And such, O Lord, am I. 278 Bowed down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely pressed, By war without, and fears within, I come to thee for rest. Be thou my shield and hiding-place; That, sheltered near thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him, thou hast died! O wondrous love! to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners, such as I, Might plead thy gracious Name. O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, is now, And shall be evermore. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SPOHR

Go forward, Christian soldier

Author: Lawrence Tuttiett Hymnal: The Hymnal #535 (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Parochial Missions Lyrics: Go forward, Christian soldier, Beneath his banner true! The Lord himself, thy Leader, Shall all thy foes subdue. His love foretells thy trials; He knows thine hourly need; He can with bread of heaven Thy fainting spirit feed. Go forward, Christian soldier! Fear not the secret foe; Far more o'er thee are watching Than human eyes can know: Trust only Christ, thy Captain; Cease not to watch and pray; Heed not the treacherous voices That lure thy soul astray. Go forward, Christian soldier! Nor dream of peaceful rest, Till Satan's host is vanquished And heaven is all possessed! Till Christ himself shall call thee To lay thine armour by, And wear in endless glory The crown of victory! Go forward, Christian soldier! Fear not the gathering night: The Lord has been thy shelter; The Lord will be thy light. When morn his face revealeth, Thy dangers all are past: O pray that faith and virtue May keep thee to the last! Languages: English Tune Title: MISSION

O Spirit of the living God

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal #475 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Parochial Missions Lyrics: O Spirit of the living God, In all thy plenitude of grace, Where'er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race. Give tongues of fire and hearts of love, To preach the reconciling word; Give power and unction from above Whene'er the joyful sound is heard. Be darkness, at thy coming, light; Confusion, order, in thy path; Souls without strength inspire with might, Bid mercy triumph over wrath. Convert the nations! far and nigh The triumphs of the cross record; The Name of Jesus glorify Till every people call him Lord. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE

God is working his purpose out

Author: Arthur C. Ainger Hymnal: The Hymnal #483a (1916) Meter: Irregular Topics: Parochial Missions Lyrics: God is working his purpose out, As year succeeds to year: God is working his purpose out, And the time is drawing near; 440 Nearer and nearer draws the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. From utmost east to utmost west, Where'er man's foot hath trod, By the mouth of many messengers Goes forth the voice of God; Give ear to me, ye continents, Ye isles, give ear to me, That the earth may be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. What can we do to work God's work, To prosper and increase The brotherhood of all mankind, The reign of the Prince of Peace? What can we do to hasten the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. March we forth in the strength of God, With the banner of Christ unfurled, That the light of the glorious gospel of truth May shine throughout the world: Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin To set their captives free, That the earth may be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. 441 All we can do is nothing worth, Unless God blesses the deed; Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide, Till God gives life to the seed; Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BENSON

Let the song go round the earth

Author: Sarah G. Stock Hymnal: The Hymnal #485 (1916) Meter: 7.5.7.5.7.7 Topics: Parochial Missions Lyrics: Let the song go round the earth, Jesus Christ is Lord! Sound his praises, tell his worth, Be his Name adored; Every clime and every tongue Join the grand, the glorious song! Let the song go round the earth! From the eastern sea, Where the daylight has its birth, Glad, and bright, and free! China's millions join the strains, Waft them on to India's plains. Let the song go round the earth! Lands where Islam's sway Darkly broods o'er home and hearth, Cast their bonds away! Let his praise from Afric's shore Rise and swell her wide lands o'er. Let the song go round the earth! Where the summer smiles; Let the notes of holy mirth Break from distant isles! Inland forests, dark and dim, Icebound coasts give back the hymn. Let the song go round the earth, Jesus Christ is King! With the story of his worth Let the whole world ring! Him creation all adore Evermore and evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: MOEL LLYS

The world to Christ we bring, With fervent prayer; The wayward and the lost, By restless passions tossed, Redeemed at countless cost, From dark despair. Christ for the world we sing! The world to Christ we bring, With one accord; With us the work to share, With us reproach to dare, With us the cross to bear, For Christ our Lord. Christ for the world we sing! The world to Christ we bring, With joyful song; The newborn souls, whose days, Reclaimed from error's ways, Inspired with hope and praise, To Christ belong. Languages: English Tune Title: MOSCOW

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: The Hymnal #85a (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Parochial Missions Lyrics: The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in his train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain; Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in his train. The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave; Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on him to save. Like him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in his train? A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came: Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CRUSADER
