O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling

Author: Mrs. Mary A. Thomson, 1834- Hymnal: MHTB1917 #297b (1917) Lyrics: 1 O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling, To tell to all the world that God is Light; That He who made all nations is not willing One soul should perish, lost in shades of night: 2 Behold, how many thousands still are lying Bound in the darksome prison-house of sin, With none to tell them of the Saviour's dying, Or of the life He died for them to win. 3 'Tis thine to save, from peril of perdition, The souls for whom the Lord His life laid down; Beware lest, slothful to fulfil thy mission, Thou lose one jewel that should deck His crown. 4 Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation That God, in whom they live and move, is Love: Tell how He stooped to save His lost creation, And died on earth that man might live above. 5 Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious, Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way, Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious And haste the coming of the glorious day. 6 He comes again O Zion, ere thou meet Him, Make known to every heart His saving grace; Let none whom He hath ransomed fail to greet Him, Through thy neglect, unfit to see His face.

March on, march on, O ye soldiers true

Author: Miss Ella S. Armitage, 1841- Hymnal: MHTB1917 #298 (1917) Lyrics: 1 March on, march on, O ye soldiers true, In the cross of Christ confiding, For the field is set, and the hosts are met, And the Lord His own is guiding. Through earth's wide round, let the tidings sound, Of the Lord who came from heaven; Of the mighty hope, that with death can cope, And the love so freely given. Refrain: March on, march on, O ye soldiers true, In the cross of Christ confiding, For the field is set and the hosts are met, and the Lord His own is guiding. 2 We march to fight with the powers of night, That have held the world in sorrow; And the broken heart shall forget its smart, And shall hail a joyful morrow, We fight with wrong, and our weapon strong Is the love which hate shall banish; And the chains shall fall from each ransomed thrall, As the thrones of tyrants vanish. [Refrain] 3 Long wear the fight, but the God of right, Though unseen, is ever near us; And the prayers that rise to the listening skies Like a song of hope shall cheer us. Till the sunrise broad of the day of God Shall declare the victor's glory, And the world shall rest in her Lord confessed, And shall sing the finished story. [Refrain] Amen.

Alas! and did my Savior bleed?

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #301a (1917) Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed? And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such an one as I? 2 Was it for sins that I have done, He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.

There is a fountain filled with blood

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #302 (1917) Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away. 3 O dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since, y faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save; When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave.
