Author: William C. Bryant Hymnal: Laudes Domini #522 (1890) Topics: Missions and Growth; Church Missions of; Home Missions Witnessing; Missions; Church Missions of; Home Missions Witnessing; Missions First Line: Look from thy sphere of endless day Lyrics: 1 Look from thy sphere of endless day,
O God of mercy and of might!
In pity look on those who stray,
Benighted in this land of light.
2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen,
In crowded mart, by stream or sea,
How many of the sons of men
Hear not the message sent from thee!
3 Send forth thy heralds, Lord, to call
The thoughtless young, the hardened old,
A scattered, homeless flock till all
Be gathered to thy peaceful fold.
4 Send them thy mighty word to speak,
Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart,
To awe the bold, to stay the weak,
And bind and heal the broken heart.
5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene,
That makes us sadden as we gaze,
Shall grow with living waters green,
And lift to heaven the voice of praise.

"Here am I, O Lord, send me."

And the heathen lands explore,
You can find the heathen nearer,
You can help them at your door;
If you cannot speak like angels,
If you cannot preach like Paul,
You can tell the love of Jesus,
You can say he died for all.
3 While the souls of men are dying,
And the Master calls for you,
Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do!"
Gladly take the task he gives you,
Let his work your pleasure be;

Was ever spent in vain. Languages: English Tune Title: OAKSVILLE

Make bright our earthly way;

While the days are going by.
Chorus:
Up! then, trusty hearts and true,
Tho' the day comes, night comes too;
Oh, the good we all may do,
While the days are going by.
2 There's no time for idle scorning
While the days are going by;
Let our face be like the morning,
While the days are going by.
Oh! the world is full of sighs,
Full of sad and weeping eyes;
Help your fallen brothers rise,
While the days are going by. [Chorus]
3 All the loving links that bind us
While the days are going by,
One by one we leave behind us
While the days are going by;
But the seeds of good we sow,
Both in shade and shrine will grow,
And will keep our hearts aglow
While the days are going by. [Chorus]

Till moons shall wax and wane no more.

And endless praises crown his head;

With every morning-sacrifice.

Dwell on his love, with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.

The prisoner leaps to lose his chains;
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.

Peculiar honors to our King;

And earth repeat the loud Amen! Languages: English Tune Title: MISSIONARY CHANT

"Come over, and help us"
Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: Laudes Domini #523 (1890) Topics: Church Missions of; Missions; Church Missions of; Missions First Line: From Greenland's icy mountains Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains,
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 every 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, oh, 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! Languages: English Tune Title: MISSIONARY HYMN

Thy jubilee proclaim;

Upon thy foes hath trod;

Great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free,
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
2 He comes, with succor speedy,
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in his sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth,
And love, and joy, like flowers,
Spring in his path to birth:
Before him, on the mountains,
Shall peace the herald go,
And righteousness in fountains
From hill to valley flow.

To him shall bow the knee;
The Ethiopian stranger
His glory comes to see:
With offerings of devotion,
Ships from the isles shall meet,
To pour the wealth of ocean
In tribute at his feet.

And gold and incense bring:
All nations shall adore him;
His praise all people sing;
For he shall have dominion
O'er river, sea, and shore,
Far as the eagle's pinion
Or dove's light wing can soar.
6 For him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.
The heavenly dew shall nourish
A seed in weakness sown,
Whose fruit shall spread and flourish,
And shake like Lebanon.
7 O'er every foe victorious,
He on his throne shall rest;
From age to age more glorious,
All-blessing and all-blessed.
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His name shall stand for ever;
His great, best name of Love! Languages: English Tune Title: WEBB

Grant them, Lord! the glorious light:
And, from eastern coast to western,
May the morning chase the night;

Freely purchased, win the day.

Win and conquer, never cease;
May thy lasting, wide dominions
Multiply and still increase;
Sway the sceptre,
Saviour! all the world around. Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE
