O'er those gloomy hills of darkness

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #538 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 O'er those gloomy hills of darkness Look, my soul, be still, and gaze, All the promises do travail With a glorious day of grace; Blessed Jubilee, Let thy glorious morning dawn. 2 Let the Indian, let the negro, Let the rude Barbaian see, That divine and glorious conquest Once obtain'd on Calvary; Let the gospel Soon resound from pole to pole. 3 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness, Grant them, Lord, the glorious light, And from eastern coast to western, May the morning chase the night; And redemption, Freely purchas'd, win the day. 4 May the glorious day approaching, Thine eternal love proclaim, And the everlasting gospel, Spread abroad thy holy name, O'er the borders Of the great Immanuel's land. 5 Mighty Saviour, spread thy gospel, Win and conquer, never cease, May thy lasting wide dominions Multiply and still increase; Sway thy sceptre, Saviour, all the world around. Scripture: Isaiah 40:4-5

Exert thy pow'r, thy rights maintain

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #546 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Exert thy pow'r, thy rights maintain, Insulted, everlasting King! The influence of thy crown increase, And strangers to thy footstool bring. 2 We long to see that happy time, That dear, expected, blessed day, When countless myriads of our race The second Adam shall obey. 3 The prophecies must be fulfill'd, Tho' earth and hell should dare oppose; The stone cut from the mountains' side, Tho' unobserv'd, to empire grows. 4 Soon shall the blended image fall, Brass, silver, iron, gold, and clay, And superstition's gloomy reign To light and liberty give way. 5 In one sweet symphony of praise, Gentile and Jew shall then unite; And infidelity, asham'd, Sink in th'abyss of endless night. 6 Soon Afric's long enslaved sons Shall join with Europe's polish'd race, To celebrate, in diff'rent tongues, The glories of redeeming grace. 7 From east to west, from north to south, Immanuel's kingdom shall extend; And ev'ry man, in ev'ry face, Shall meet a brother, and a friend. Scripture: Daniel 2:45

Father of mercies, in thy house

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #566 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Ordination and Licensure Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, in thy house Smile on our homage and our vows; While with a grateful heart we share These pledges of our Saviour's care. 2 The Saviour, when to heaven he rose In splendid triumph o'er his foes, Scatter'd his gifts on men below, And wide his royal bounties flow. 3 Hence sprung th'Apostles' honour'd name, Sacred beyond heroic fame; In lowlier form to bless our eyes, Pastors from hence, and teachers rise. 4 From Christ their varied gifts derive, And fed by Christ their graces live; While guarded by his potent hand, 'Midst all the rage of hell they stand. 5 So shall the bright succession run Through the last courses of the sun; While unborn churches by their care Shall rise and flourish large and fair. 6 Jesus our Lord their hearts shall know, The spring whence all these blessing flow; Pastors and people shout his praise Through the long round of endless days. Scripture: Ephesians 4:8

Go where Christ was never named; Publish freedom to the slave; Blessed freedom! Such as Zion’s children have. 3 What though earth and hell united Should oppose the Saviour’s plan? Plead his cause, nor be affrighted: Fear ye not the face of man: Vain their tumult; Hurt his work they never can. 4 When expos'd to fearful dangers, Jesus will his own defend; Borne afar, 'midst foes and strangers, Jesus will appear your friend; And his presence Shall be with you to the end.
