From Greenland's icy mountains

Author: Bp. R. Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #280 (1917) Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand, From many as ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle, Though every prospect pleases, And only man is vile! In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strewn; The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation! O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation Has learnt Messiah's name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransomed nature, The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign.

Our prairies and our mountains, Forest and fertile field, Our rivers, lakes, and fountains, To Thee shall tribute yield. 2 O Christ, for Thine own glory, And for our country's weal, We humbly plead before Thee, Thyself in us reveal; And may we know, Lord Jesus, The touch of Thy dear hand; And, healed of our diseases, The tempter's power withstand. 3 Where error smites with blindness, Enslaves and leads astray, Do Thou in loving-kindness Proclaim Thy gospel day; Till all the tribes and races That dwell in this fair land, Adorned with Christian graces, Within Thy courts shall stand. 4 Our Saviour, King, defend us, And guide where we should go; Forth with Thy message send us, Thy love and light to show; Till fired with true devotion Enkindled by Thy word, From ocean unto ocean Our land shall own Thee, Lord.

Author: Mrs. M. F. Anderson, 1819- Hymnal: MHTB1917 #282 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Our country's voice is pleading, Ye men of God, arise! His providence is leading, The land before you lies; Day-gleams are o'er it brightening, And promise clothes the soil; Wide fields, for harvest whitening, Invite the reaper's toil. 2 Go where the waves are breaking Along the ocean shore, Christ's precious gospel taking, More rich than golden ore; Go to the woodman's dwelling, Go to the prairie broad, The wondrous story telling, The mercy of our God. 3 The love of Christ unfolding, Speed on from east to west, Till all, His cross beholding, In Him are fully blest. Great Author of salvation, Haste, haste the glorious day, When we, a ransomed nation, Thy scepter shall obey!

He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free, To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes, with succor speedy, To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; Love, joy, and hope, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth. Before Him, on the mountains, Shall peace the herald go; And righteousness in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall fall down before Him And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore Him, His praise all people sing; For Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. 5 O'er every foe victorious, He on His throne shall rest; From age to age more glorious, All-blessing and all-blest. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His name shall stand for ever, His changeless name of Love.

Stock, 1838-1898 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #284 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O Master, when Thou callest, No voice may say Thee nay; For blest are they that follow Where Thou dost lead the way; Om freshest prime of morning, Or fullest glow of noon, The note of heavenly warning Can never come too soon. 2 O Master, where Thou callest, No foot may shrink in fear; For they who trust Thee wholly Shall find Thee ever near And chamber still and lonely, Or busy harvest-field, Where Thou, Lord, rulest only, Shall precious produce yield. 3 O Master, when Thou callest, No heart may dare refuse; 'Tis honour, highest honour, When Thou dost deign to use Our brightest and our fairest, Our dearest--all are Thine; Thou who for each one carest, We hail Thy love's design. 4 They who go forth to serve Thee, We too who serve at home, May watch and pray together Until Thy kingdom come; In Thee for aye united, Our song of hope we raise, Till that blest shore is sighted Where all shall turn to praise.

See how great a flame aspires

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #286 (1917) Lyrics: 1 See how great a flame aspires, Kindled by a spark of grace! Jesus' love the nations fires, Sets the kingdoms on a blaze; To bring fire on earth He came, Kindled in some hearts it is; O that all might catch the flame, All partake the glorious bliss! 2 When He first the work begun, Small and feeble was His day; Now the word doth swiftly run, Now it wins its widening way; More and more it spreads and grows, Ever mighty to prevail, Sin's strongholds it now o'erthrows, Shakes the trembling gates of hell. 3 Sons of God, your Saviour praise! He the door hath opened wide; He hath given the word of grace, Jesus' word is glorified; Jesus, mighty to redeem, He alone the work hath wrought; Worthy is the work of Him, Him who spake a world from nought. 4 Saw ye not the cloud arise, Little as a human hand Now it spreads along the skies, Hangs o'er all the thirsty land; Lo! the promise of a shower Drops already from above; But the Lord will shortly pour All the Spirit of His love!
