The Missionary Saviour

Author: C. M. S. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: A world in awful darkness lay Refrain First Line: No eye was found with pitying love Lyrics: 1. A world in awful darkness lay, No ray of hope shone in; And not a soul the price could pay To cancel earth's dark sin. Refrain: No eye was found with pitying love; No arm to save the lost, Till Jesus came from realms above To pay the fearful cost. 2. Within the shadow, dark and deep, Of death, dwelt all the race; Fear into every heart did creep While Mercy hid her face. Refrain: But when among the host above Was heard the pleading cry, For one to go to men in love, Our Lord said, "Here am I." 3. If Christ was willing thus to come Down from his home on high To leave his Father's glorious throne For foreigners to die Refrain: Shall those who claim his own to be, Refuse to send the light, To foreign lands across the sea Long wrapt in shades of night? 4. Still many souls in darkness wait, And still is heard the cry From sinful ones without the gate, "O save us ere we die." Refrain: Then may the love of Christ inspire Our souls with sacred zeal; Till melting hearts with holy fire Before his throne shall kneel. Used With Tune: [A world in awful darkness lay]

The Risen Christ

The stone is rolled away 'Mid wonders thrilling; Hear what the angels say, His word fulfilling: 3. "Fear not! Among the dead Seek ye the living?" "Fear not," the angel said, New courage giving. "Fear not" need any fear Whom he befriendeth? An empty tomb is here; The Lord ascendeth. 4. "Fear not"! Repeat the word, Rehearse the story; Tell what your ears have heard, Messiah's glory.
