From California's Vineyards
Author: Martin M. Knapp Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: From California’s vineyards Refrain First Line: We’ll heed the Savior’s summons Lyrics: 1 From California’s vineyards
To Carolina’s strand,
We hear the wail of anguish
That rises in our land,
From Maine to Mississippi,
We see the blight of sin,
And hear the groans of sorrow
Above our city’s din.
Refrain:
We’ll heed the Savior’s summons,
On wings of love we fly,
To bear the Gospel message
Ere at our door they die.
2 From Asia’s dark dominions,
And Afric’s burning sand,
Like mighty streams of water
They pour into our land.
From Europe’s crowded cities,
They flow from year to year,
And bring their crimes and vices
And superstitions here. [Refrain]
3 From many a haunt of evil,
From many a home of shame,
We must their souls deliver
From sin in Jesus’ name.
In many a street and alley,
They wander to and fro,
And swiftly down are sinking,
To realms of endless woe. [Refrain]
4 Glad tidings of salvation
We thus shall speed along,
Till every place of sorrow
Becomes a place of song;
Till slaves of vice and folly
At Jesus’ feet shall fall,
And claim His great salvation,
And crown Him Lord of all. [Refrain] Used With Tune: SANTIAGO Text Sources: Bible Songs of Salvation and Victory (Cincinnati: M. W. Knapp, 1902)

From China's Dark Dominions
Author: Martin M. Knapp Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: From China’s dark dominions Refrain First Line: We’re coming, yes, we’re coming Lyrics: 1 From China’s dark dominions
Unto Columbia free,
We’ve heard the cries of anguish
Which echo o’er the sea.
We’ve heard the royal summons
Of Jesus crucified,
To hasten to the rescue
Of those for whom He died.
Refrain:
We’re coming, yes, we’re coming
On wings of love we fly,
To bear the Gospel message
Ere waiting millions die.
2 Our hearts with pain are bleeding
That we have been so slow,
To heed these pleading voices
And on our mission go.
Forgive us! oh, forgive us!
Ye nations far away,
Forgive us, gracious Father!
In Jesus’ name we pray. [Refrain]
3 With songs and joy of gladness
Our offerings we give,
That all the heathen nations
May look to Christ and live.
Though deep the pain in parting,
Our children, too, may go,
And tell the thirsting millions
Where living waters flow. [Refrain]
4 Then heathen nations bending
At Jesus’ feet shall fall,
And join with saints and angels,
And crown Him Lord of all.
Till over earth triumphant
His ransomed Church shall reign,
When Jesus in His glory
With joy shall come again. [Refrain]

We welcome thee today,
With all thy flow'ry legions
And all thy song-birds gay.

With merry laughter run;
While woodland banners greet thee,
Beneath a smiling sun.

O let us lay all sadness
And sighing at thy feet.
The woodland ways are ringing
With many a merry lay;
Oh let us join in singing
With nature's choir today. [Chorus]
3 O Summer thou hast brought us
A message sweet and fair;
O Summer thou hast taught us
Of heaven's brooding care.
Thy gleaming skies of glory
Watch o'er the world in love.
They tell a glad, sweet story
Of summer lands above. [Chorus]
