Indulgent God, to thee we pray

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #541 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Indulgent God, to thee we pray, Be with us on this solemn day;' Smile on our souls,our plans approve, By which we seek to spread thy love. 2 Let party prejudice be gone, And love unite our hearts in one; Let all we have and are, combine to aid this glorious work of thine. 3 Point us to men of upright mind, Devoted, diligent, and kind; With grace be all their hearts endow'd, And light to guide them in the road. 4 With cheerful steps may they proceed, Where'er thy providence shall lead; Let heaven and earth their work befriend, And mercy all their paths attend. 5 Great let the bands of those be found Who shall attend the gospel sound: And let Barbarians, bond and free, In suppliant throngs resort to thee. 6 Where Pagan altars now are built, And brutal blood, or human, spilt, There be the bleeding cross high rear'd, And God, our God, alone rever'd. 7 Where captives groan beneath their chain, Let grace, and love, and concord reign; The aged and the infant tongue Unite in one harmonious song.

Lord, when we cast our eyes abroad

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #542 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Lord, when we cast our eyes abroad, And see on heathen altars slain, Poor helpless babes for sacrifice, To purge their parents' dismal stain; 2 We can't behold such horrid deeds Without a groan of ardent pray'r; And while each heart in anguish bleeds, We cry, Lord, send thy gospel there. 3 For them we pray, for them we wait, To them thy great salvation show; thy harvest, Lord, is truly great, But faithful labourers are few. 4 O send out preachers, gracious Lord, Among that dark, bewilder'd race; Open their eyes, and bless thy word, And call them by thy sov'reign grace. 5 Then shall they shout thy honour'd name, And sound thy matchless praise abroad; And we will join them in the theme, Salvation to our risen God. Scripture: Luke 10:2

Go, and the Saviour's grace proclaim

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #544 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Go, and the Saviour's grace proclaim, Ye messengers of God; Go, publish, thro' Immanuel's name, Salvation bought with blood. 2 What tho' your arduous track may lie Thro' regions dark as death; What tho' your faith and zeal to try, Perils beset your path: 3 Yet, with determin'd courage, go, And, arm'd with pow'r divine, Your God will needful aid bestow, And on your labours shine. 4 He who has call'd you to the war Will recompense your pains; Before Messiah's conqu'ring ear, Mountains shall sink to plains. 5 Shrink not tho' earth and hell oppose, But plead your Master's cause; Nor doubt that e'en your mighty foes Shall bow before his cross.

Bright as the sun's meridian blaze

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #548 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Bright as the sun’s meridian blaze, Vast as the blessings he conveys, Wide as his reign from pole to pole, And permanent as his control. 2 So, Jesus, let thy kingdom come, Then sin and hell’s terrific gloom Shall, at his brightness, flee away, The dawn of an eternal day. 3 'Then shall the heathen, fill'd with awe, Learn the blest knowledge of thy law: And antichrist on ev'ry shore, Fall from his throne to rise no more.' 4 Then shall thy lofty praise resound On Afric's shores--thro' India's ground; And islands of the southern sea Shall stretch their eager arms to thee. 5 Then shall the Jew and Gentile meet In pure devotion at thy feet: And earth shall yield thee, as thy due, Her fulness and her glory too. 6 O that from Zion now might shine This heavenly light, this truth divine: Till the whole universe shall be But one great temple, Lord, to thee.

Kindred, and friends, and native land

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #551 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Kindred, and friends, and native land, How shall we say farewell? How, when our swelling sails expand, How will our bosoms swell! 2 Yes, nature, all thy soft delights, And tender ties we know; But love, more strong than death, unites To Him that bids us go. 3 Thus, when our ev'ry passion mov'd, The gushing tear-drop starts; The cause of Jesus more belov'd, Shall glow within our hearts. 4 The sighs we breathe for precious souls, Where He is yet unknown, Might waft us to the distant poles, Or to the burning zone. 5 With the warm wish our bosoms swell, Our glowing pow'rs expand; Farewell--then we can say,--Farewell, Our friends, our native land!

Good shepherd, great shepherd

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #554 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn First Line: Shepherd of Israel, thou didst lead Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of Israel, thou didst lead Thy chosen flock the desert through, And from between the cherubim Thy mercy and thy favour show. 2 And though their sins provoked thee oft, To give them to their foes a prey, Yet didst thou, for thy mercy sake As often turn thy wrath away. 3 But, ah! they fill'd the measure up Of all their aggravated guilt, When on the hill of Calvary The blood of thine own Son they spilt. 4 And now for ages they have been Cast out and banish'd from thy sight, Wandering through all the earth, as those In whom thou hast no more delight. 5 Yet is thy word of promise sure, That they shall be again restor'd, And with the gentile church unite To worship and to serve the Lord. 6 Our faith in expectation waits, To see that glorious morning rise, O bid the shadows flee away, And satisfy our longing eyes.

Jesus, thy wand'ring sheep behold!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #556 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Pastoral Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thy wand'ring sheep behold! See, Lord, with yearning bowels, see, Poor souls that cannot find the fold, Till sought and gather'd in by thee. 2 Lost are they now, and scatter'd wide, In pain, and weariness, and want; With no kind Shepherd near, to guide The sick, and spiritless and faint. 3 Thou, only thou, the kind and good, And sheep-redeeming Shepherd art; Collect thy flock, and give them food And pastors after thine own heart. 4 Give the pure word of gen'ral grace, And great shall be the preacher's crowd; Preachers, who all the sinful race Point to the all atoning blood. 5 In every messenger reveal The grace they preach divinely free; That each may by thy Spirit tell, "He died for all, who died for me." 6 A double portion from above, Of thine all-quick'ning grace impart; Shed forth thy universal love, In every faithful Pastor's heart.

O that I were as heretofore

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #557 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Pastoral Lyrics: 1 O that I were as heretofore; When first sent forth in Jesus' name, I rush'd through every open door, And cried to all, "behold the Lamb!" 2 The God who kills and makes alive, To me the quickening power impart; Thy grace restore, thy work revive, Retouch my lips, renew my heart. 3 I would the precious time redeem, And longer live for this alone, To spend, and to be spent for them Who have not yet my Saviour known. 4 My talents, gifts, and graces, Lord, Into thy blessed hands receive; And let me live to preach thy word, And let me for thy glory live. 5 Enlarge, inflame, and fill my heart with boundless charity divine: So shall I all my strength exert, And love them with a zeal like thine. Scripture: Job 29:2

Draw near, O Son of God, draw near

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #561 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Pastoral Lyrics: 1 Draw near, O Son of God, draw near, Us with thy flaming eye behold; Still in thy church vouchsafe t'appear, And let our candlestick be gold. 2 Still hold the stars in thy right hand, And let them in thy lustre glow, The lights of a benighted land, The angels of thy church below. 3 Make good their apostolic boast, Their high commission let them prove, Be temples of the Holy ghost, And fill'd with faith, and hope, and love. 4 Their hearts from things of earth remove, Sprinkle them, Lord, from sin and fear; Fix their affections all above, And lay up all their treasures there. 5 Give them an ear to hear thy word; Thou speakest to the churches now: And let all tongues confess their Lord, Let every knee to Jesus bow.

Equip me for the war

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #562 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Pastoral Lyrics: 1 Equip me for the war, And teach my hands to fight; My simple, upright heart prepare, And guide my words aright. 2 Control my ev'ry thought; My whole of sin remove; Let all my works in thee be wrought, Let all be wrought in love. 3 O arm me with the mind, Meek Lamb, that was in thee! And let my knowing zeal be join'd With perfect charity. 4 With calm and temper'd zeal, Let me enforce thy call; And vindicate thy gracious will, Which offers life to all. 5 O may I love like thee! In all thy footsteps tread; Thou hatest all inquity, But nothing thou hast made. 6 O may I learn the art, With meekness to reprove! And hate the sin with all my heart, But still the sinner love. Scripture: Ephesians 6:13
