Great God! arise and shine

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #181 (1814) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 Great god! arise and shine, With beams of heav'nly light; From this dark world of sin dispel The long and doleful night. 2 No more may idols share The honors due to thee: May ev'ry nation know thy name, And thy salvation see. 3 No more may man malice dare To lift her iron rod; No longer shed the blood of saints, And plead a zeal for God. 4 With its own native light, Lord, may thy gospel shine: May error fly like noxious mists Before this light divine. 5 Whilst truth her charms reveals, May love each breast inspire; Nor one base passion ever mix, To quench this sacred fire.

Great was the day, the joy was great

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #528 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Great was the day, the joy was great, When the divine disciples met; While on their heads the Spirit came, And sat like tongues of cloven flame. 2 What gifts, what miracles he gave! And pow'r to kill, and pow'r to save! Furnish'd their tongues with wondrous words, Instead of shields, and spears, and swords. 3 Nations, the learned and the rude, Were by these heav'nly arms subdu'd, The heathens saw thy glory, Lord! And, wond'ring, bless'd thy gracious word. 4 Come the great day, the glorious hour, When all shall feel thy saving pow'r, And the whole race of man confess The beauty of thy holiness!

Great God! the nations of the earth

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #532 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Great God! the nations of the earth Are by creation thine; And in thy works, by all beheld, Thy radiant glories shine. 2 But, Lord, thy greater love has sent Thy Gospel to mankind, Unveiling what rich stores of grace Are treasured in thy mind. 3 Lord! when shall these glad tidings spread The spacious earth around, Till ev'ry tribe, and ev'ry soul Shall hear the joyful sound? 4 O when shall Afric's sable sons Enjoy the heav'nly word, And vassals long enslav'd become The freemen of the Lord? 5 When shall th'untutor'd heathen tribes, A dark bewilder'd race, Sit down at our Immanuel's feet, And learn and feel his grace? 6 Haste, sov'reign mercy, and transform Their cruelty to love; Soften the tiger to a lamb, The vulture to a dove. 7 Smile, Lord, on each divine attempt To spread the gospel’s rays; And build, on sin’s demolish'd throne, The temples of thy praise.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #533 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He, whose word cannot be broken, Form'd thee for his own abode. On the rock of ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove: Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst t'assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, See the cloud and fire appear! For a glory and a cov'ring, Showing that the Lord is near: Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which he gives them when they pray. Scripture: Isaiah 33:20-21

O'er those gloomy hills of darkness

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #538 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 O'er those gloomy hills of darkness Look, my soul, be still, and gaze, All the promises do travail With a glorious day of grace; Blessed Jubilee, Let thy glorious morning dawn. 2 Let the Indian, let the negro, Let the rude Barbaian see, That divine and glorious conquest Once obtain'd on Calvary; Let the gospel Soon resound from pole to pole. 3 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness, Grant them, Lord, the glorious light, And from eastern coast to western, May the morning chase the night; And redemption, Freely purchas'd, win the day. 4 May the glorious day approaching, Thine eternal love proclaim, And the everlasting gospel, Spread abroad thy holy name, O'er the borders Of the great Immanuel's land. 5 Mighty Saviour, spread thy gospel, Win and conquer, never cease, May thy lasting wide dominions Multiply and still increase; Sway thy sceptre, Saviour, all the world around. Scripture: Isaiah 40:4-5

Go, friends of Jesus, and proclaim

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #543 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Go, friends of Jesus, and proclaim The kind Redeemer you have found; And speak his ever precious name, To all the wond'ring nations round. 2 Go, tell the unletter'd, wretched slave, Who groans beneath a tyrant's rod, You bring a pardon bought with blood, The blood of an incarnate God. 3 Go, tell the panting, sable chief On Ethiopia's scorching sand, You come with a refreshing stream, To cheer and bless his thirsty land. 4 Go, tell the distant isles afar, Of Otaheite and Pelew, That in the covenant of grace, Their unknown names are written too. 5 Go tell, on India's golden shores, Of a rich treasure, more refin'd; And tell them, tho' they'll scarce believe, You come, the friend of human kind. 6 Say, the religion you profess Is all benevolence and love; And by its own divine effects, Its heavenly origin will prove.

Exert thy pow'r, thy rights maintain

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #546 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Exert thy pow'r, thy rights maintain, Insulted, everlasting King! The influence of thy crown increase, And strangers to thy footstool bring. 2 We long to see that happy time, That dear, expected, blessed day, When countless myriads of our race The second Adam shall obey. 3 The prophecies must be fulfill'd, Tho' earth and hell should dare oppose; The stone cut from the mountains' side, Tho' unobserv'd, to empire grows. 4 Soon shall the blended image fall, Brass, silver, iron, gold, and clay, And superstition's gloomy reign To light and liberty give way. 5 In one sweet symphony of praise, Gentile and Jew shall then unite; And infidelity, asham'd, Sink in th'abyss of endless night. 6 Soon Afric's long enslaved sons Shall join with Europe's polish'd race, To celebrate, in diff'rent tongues, The glories of redeeming grace. 7 From east to west, from north to south, Immanuel's kingdom shall extend; And ev'ry man, in ev'ry face, Shall meet a brother, and a friend. Scripture: Daniel 2:45

Comfort, ye ministers of grace

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #547 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Comfort, ye ministers of grace, Comfort the people of your Lord; O lift ye up the fallen race, And cheer them by the gospel word. 2 Go into every nation, go; Speak to their trembling hearts, and cry, Glad tidings unto all we show: Jerusalem, thy God is nigh. 3 Hark! in the wilderness a cry, A voice that loudly calls, prepare! Prepare your hearts, for God is nigh, And means to make his entrance there! 4 The Lord your God shall quickly come; Sinners, repent, the call obey: Open your hearts to make him room, Ye desert souls prepare his way. 5 The Lord shall clear his way through all: Whate'er obstructs, obstructs in vain; The vale shall rise, the mountain fall, Crooked by straight, and rugged plain. 6 The glory of the Lord display'd Shall all mankind together view, And what his mouth and truth hath said His own almighty hand shall do.
