Hasten The Time Appointed

Hymnal: ALH1930 #101 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Hasten the time appointed, By prophets long foretold, When all shall dwell together, One Shepherd and one fold. Let ev'ry idol perish, To moles and bats be thrown, And ev'ry prayer be offered To God in Christ alone. 2 Let Jew and Gentile, meeting From many a distant shore, Around one altar kneeling, One common Lord adore. Let all that now divides us Remove and pass away, Like shadows of the morning Before the blaze of day. 3 O long-expected dawning, Come with thy cheering ray! When shall the morning brighten, The shadows flee away? O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on, To pray, and hope, and labor Until dark night be gone. Amen.

Refrain: Publish glad tidings; Tidings of peace; Tidings of Jesus, Redemption and release. A-men. 2 Behold, how many thousands still are lying Bound in the darksome prison-house of sin, With none to tell them of the Savior's dying, Or of the life He died for them to win. [Refrain] 3 Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious; Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way; Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious; And all thou spendest, Jesus will repay.

Savior, Sprinkle Many Nations

Author: A. C. Coxe Hymnal: ALH1930 #103 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Savior, sprinkle many nations; Fruitful let Thy sorrows be; By Thy pains and consolations Draw the Gentiles unto Thee. Of Thy cross the wondrous story, Be it to the nations told; Let them see Thee in Thy glory And Thy mercy manifold. 2 Far and wide, tho' all unknowing, Pants for Thee each mortal breast; Human tears for Thee are flowing, Human hearts in Thee would rest. Thirsting as for dews of even, As the new-mown grass for rain, Thee they seek as God of heaven, Thee as man for sinners slain. 3 Savior, lo, the isles are waiting! Stretched the hand and strained the sight For Thy Spirit, new creating, Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light. Give Thy word to ev'ry preacher, Speed his foot and touch his tongue, Till on earth by ev'ry creature Glory to the Lamb be sung! Amen.

The Morning Light is Breaking

Author: S. F. Smith Hymnal: ALH1930 #104 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 The morning light is breaking, The darkness disappears; The sons of earth are waking To penitential tears; Each breeze that sweeps the ocean Brings tidings from afar Of nations in commotion, Prepared for Zion's war. 2 See heathen nations bending Before the God we love, And thousand hearts ascending In gratitude above; While sinners, now confessing, The Gospel call obey And seek the Savior's blessing, A nation in a day. 3 Blest river of salvation, Pursue thy onward way; Flow thou to ev'ry nation, Nor in thy richness stay; Stay not till all the lowly Triumphant reach their home; Stay not till all the holy Proclaim, The Lord is come! Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace Missions Languages: English Tune Title: WEBB (GOODWIN)

Lord Jesus Christ, The Cause Is Thine

Author: H. Brueckner; S. Preiswerk Hymnal: ALH1930 #105 (1930) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, the cause is Thine, The cause for which we pray, And since it is of Thy design, It cannot pass away. Yet ev'ry seed, its life to show, And as a fruitful plant to grow, Must perish in the silent grave; Thus losing life, our life we save, Our life we save, In truth our life we save. 2 Thro' sorrow's vale Thy pathway led To heaven's joyful plain, And we must follow Thee, our Head, If we that joy would gain. O let us, then, Thy sufferings share, And lead us to Thy kingdom fair. May we who sorrow here with Thee In yonder life Thy glory see, Thy glory see, Thy wondrous glory see. 3 Thou art in truth the grain of wheat That sank into the grave; But now in heaven is Thy seat, And Thou hast pow'r to save. So let Thy messengers proclaim To all the world Thy glorious name, Thy name repleat with bliss and joy; We, too, would stay in Thine employ, In Thine employ, O Lord, in Thine employ.

Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace Missions Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET
