Go, ye messengers of God

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #545 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Go, ye messengers of God, Like the beams of morning fly; Take the wonder-working rod, Wave the banner cross on high! 2 Go to many a tropic isle On the bosom of the deep; Where the skies for ever smile And the blacks for ever weep. 3 Where the golden gates of day Open on the balmy East, Wide the bleeding cross display, Spread the Gospel’s richest feast. 4 Visit ev'ry heathen soil, Ev'ry barren, burning strans,-- Bid each dreary region smile, Lovely as the promis'd land. 5 In yon wilds of stream and shade, Many an Indian wigwam trace; And with words of love persuade Savages to sue for grace. 6 Cirumnavigate the Ball-- Visit ev'ry soil and sea; Preach the cross of Christ to all; Jesus’ love is full and free.

Comfort, ye ministers of grace

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #547 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Comfort, ye ministers of grace, Comfort the people of your Lord; O lift ye up the fallen race, And cheer them by the gospel word. 2 Go into every nation, go; Speak to their trembling hearts, and cry, Glad tidings unto all we show: Jerusalem, thy God is nigh. 3 Hark! in the wilderness a cry, A voice that loudly calls, prepare! Prepare your hearts, for God is nigh, And means to make his entrance there! 4 The Lord your God shall quickly come; Sinners, repent, the call obey: Open your hearts to make him room, Ye desert souls prepare his way. 5 The Lord shall clear his way through all: Whate'er obstructs, obstructs in vain; The vale shall rise, the mountain fall, Crooked by straight, and rugged plain. 6 The glory of the Lord display'd Shall all mankind together view, And what his mouth and truth hath said His own almighty hand shall do.

Bright as the sun's meridian blaze

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #548 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Bright as the sun’s meridian blaze, Vast as the blessings he conveys, Wide as his reign from pole to pole, And permanent as his control. 2 So, Jesus, let thy kingdom come, Then sin and hell’s terrific gloom Shall, at his brightness, flee away, The dawn of an eternal day. 3 'Then shall the heathen, fill'd with awe, Learn the blest knowledge of thy law: And antichrist on ev'ry shore, Fall from his throne to rise no more.' 4 Then shall thy lofty praise resound On Afric's shores--thro' India's ground; And islands of the southern sea Shall stretch their eager arms to thee. 5 Then shall the Jew and Gentile meet In pure devotion at thy feet: And earth shall yield thee, as thy due, Her fulness and her glory too. 6 O that from Zion now might shine This heavenly light, this truth divine: Till the whole universe shall be But one great temple, Lord, to thee.

Father of faithful Abra'm, hear

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #553 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Father of faithful Abra'm, hear Our earnest suit for Abra'm's seed, Justly they claim the softest pray'r From those adopted in their stead: 2 Outcast from thee, and scatter'd wide Thro' every nation under heav'n, Rejecting whom they crucified, Unsav'd, unpity'd, unforgiv'n. 3 But hast thou finally forsook, For ever cast thy own away? No--thou wilt bid them turn and look On him they pierc'd, and mourn and pray? 4 Come then, thou great Deliver'r, come, The veil from Jacob's heart remove; Receive thy ancient people home, That they may sing redeeming love.

Good shepherd, great shepherd

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #554 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn First Line: Shepherd of Israel, thou didst lead Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of Israel, thou didst lead Thy chosen flock the desert through, And from between the cherubim Thy mercy and thy favour show. 2 And though their sins provoked thee oft, To give them to their foes a prey, Yet didst thou, for thy mercy sake As often turn thy wrath away. 3 But, ah! they fill'd the measure up Of all their aggravated guilt, When on the hill of Calvary The blood of thine own Son they spilt. 4 And now for ages they have been Cast out and banish'd from thy sight, Wandering through all the earth, as those In whom thou hast no more delight. 5 Yet is thy word of promise sure, That they shall be again restor'd, And with the gentile church unite To worship and to serve the Lord. 6 Our faith in expectation waits, To see that glorious morning rise, O bid the shadows flee away, And satisfy our longing eyes.
