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; Missionaries 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
Exert thy pow'r, thy rights maintain

Go, ye heralds of salvation

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #550 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Farewell to Missionaries; Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Go, ye heralds of salvation, Go, proclaim 'Redeeming blood;' Publish to each barb'rous nation, Peace and pardon from our God: Tell the heathen, None but Christ can do them good. 2 While the gospel trump you're sounding, May the spirit seal the word, And, thro' plenteous grace abounding, Heathen bow and own the Lord; Idols leaving God alone shall be ador'd. 3 Distance tho' our souls are blending Still our hearts are warm and true; In our pray'rs to heav'n ascending, Brethren--we'll remember you; Heav'n preserve you, Safely all your journey through. 4 When your mission here is finish'd, And your work on earth is done, May your souls, by grace replenish'd, Find acceptance thro' the Son; Thence admitted, Dwell for ever near his throne. 5 Loud hosannas now resounding, Make the heavenly arches ring: Grace to sinful men abounding, Ransom'd millions sweetly sing; While, with rapture, All adore their heav'nly King.
Go, ye heralds of salvation

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; The Missionaries' farewell 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!
Kindred, and friends, and native land

Ye Messengers of Christ

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #552 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn; Ordination and departure of Missionaries Lyrics: 1 Ye Messengers of Christ, His sov'reign voice obey; Arise! and follow where he leads, And peace attend your way. 2 The Master, whom ye serve, Will needful strength bestow; Depending on his promis'd aid, With sacred courage go. 3 Mountains shall sink to plains, And hell in vain oppose; The cause is God’s, and must prevail, In spite of all his foes. 4 Go, spread a Saviour’s fame; And tell his matchless grace, To the most guilty and deprav'd Of Adam’s num'rous race. 5 We wish you, in his name, The most divine success; Assur'd that he who sends you forth Will your endeavours bless.
Ye Messengers of Christ

Onward, onward, men of heaven

Author: L. H. Sigourney Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #585 (1873) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Christian Church Missionary; Missionaries Charged Lyrics: 1 Onward, onward, men of heaven; Bear the gospel banner high; Rest not till its light is given-- Star of every pagan sky: Send it where the pilgrim stranger Faints beneath the torrid ray; Bid the hardy forest-ranger Hail it, ere he fades away. 2 Where the Arctic Ocean thunders, Where the tropics fiercely glow, Broadly spread its page of wonders, Brightly bid its radiance flow: India marks its lustre stealing, Shivering Greenland loves its rays; Afric, 'mid her deserts kneeling, Lifts the untaught strain of praise. 3 Rude in speech, or wild in feature, Dark in spirit, though they be, Show that light to every creature-- Prince or vassal, bond or free: Lo! they haste to every nation; Host on host the ranks supply: Onward! Christ is your salvation, And your death is victory.
Onward, onward, men of heaven
