Author: Mary Ann Thomson Hymnal: The Hymnal #382 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10.9.11 First Line: O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling Lyrics: 1 O Zion, 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 Proclaim to every 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]
4 He comes again: O Zion, ere thou meet Him,
Make known to every heart His saving grace;
Let none whom He hath ransomed fail to greet Him,
Through thy neglect, unfit to see His face. [Refrain]
Amen. Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Missions; Christ Second Coming, His; Missions Tune Title: ANGELIC SONGS
