88. O Christian, Haste, Thy Mission

1 O Christian, haste, thy mission high fulfilling,
To tell to all the world that God is Light,
That He who made all nations is not willing
One soul should perish, lost in shades of night.

Refrain:
Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace;
Tidings of Jesus, Redemption and release.

2 Behold how many thousands still are lying
Bound in the darksome prison house of sin,
With none to tell them of the Saviour’s dying,
Or of the life He died for them to win. [Refrain]

3 ’Tis thine to save from peril of perdition
The souls for whom the Lord His life laid down:
Beware lest, slothful to fulfill thy mission,
Thou lose one jewel that should deck His crown. [Refrain]

4 Proclaim to ev’ry people, tongue, and nation
That God, in whom they live and move, is love;
Tell how He stooped to save His lost creation,
And died on earth that man might live above. [Refrain]
