3 From east to west, from north to south, Let earth, with all its millions, shout 509. L. M. DODDRIDGE. Prayer for the Conversion of the World. 1 INDULGENT Sovereign of the skies, And wilt thou bow thy gracious ear? While feeble mortals raise their cries, Wilt thou, the great Jehovah, hear? 2 Look down, O God, with pitying eye, And view the desolation round; See what wide realms in darkness lie, What scenes of wo and crime abound! 3 Loud let the gospel trumpet blow, And call the nations from afar; Let all the isles their Saviour know, And earth's remotest ends draw near. L. M. PRATT'S COLL. 510. 1 SOVEREIGN of worlds! display thy power, 2 Set up thy throne where Satan reigns, 3 Speak! and the world shall hear thy voice: Restoration of Israel. 1 DAUGHTER of Zion, from the dust Exalt thy fallen head; Again in thy Redeemer trust, He calls thee from the dead. 2 Awake, awake! put on thy strength, The day of freedom dawns at length, 3 Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge, 4 They come, they come;-thine exiled bands Have heard thy voice in distant lands, 512. L. M. PRATT'S COLL. False Religions supplanted by Christianity. 1 ARISE? arise!-with joy survey The glory of the later day: Already is the dawn begun Which marks at hand a rising sun! 2 "Behold the way!" ye heralds, cry: Spare not-but lift your voices high: Convey the sound from pole to pole, "Glad tidings," to the captive soul. 3"Behold the way to Zion's hill, Where Israel's God delights to dwell He fixes there his lofty throne, And calls the sacred place his own." 4 The north gives up-the south no more Keeps back her consecrated store: From east to west the message runs, And either India yields her sons. 5 Auspicious dawn!-thy rising ray With joy we view--and hail the day: Great Sun of Righteousness! arise, And fill the world with glad surprise. 513. 8s, 7s & 4s. REED'S COLL. Victories of Christ. 1 GIRD thy sword on, mighty Saviour, Bring thy trophies from afar. 2 Majesty combined with meekness, Righteousness and peace unite To ensure thy blessed conquests→→→ Ꮓ 518. 8s & 7s. FRANCIS. 1 WITH our substance we will honour His abounding grace proclaim, To our Lord our all we owe. 519. L. M. PRATT'S COLL Departure of Missionaries. 1 YE Christian heroes, go, proclaim Salvation in Immanuel's name; To distant climes the tidings bear, And plant the rose of Sharon there. 2 He'll shield you with a wall of fireWith holy zeal your hearts inspire; Bid raging winds their fury cease, And calm the savage breast to peace. 3 And when our labours all are o'er, Then shall we meet to part no more; Meet-with the blood-bought throng to fall, And crown our Jesus-Lord of all. 520. S. M. PRATT'S COLL. YE messengers of Christ, The Master whom you serve 3 Go, spread the Saviour's fame; 4 Mountains shall sink to plains, The cause is God's-and will prevail 521. L. M. PRATT'S COLL. Subjection of the Nations to Christ prayed for. 2 Let thrones, and powers, and kingdoms be Obedient, mighty God, to thee! And over land, and stream, and main, 522. C. M. VERMONT COLL. Reign of Christ. 2 Then shall pure converts crowd thy gates, Press to the gospel sound; And grace eternal sweetly shine, 3 Then shall the watchmen of the Lamb, And from a clear refulgent light, 4 Lord, we would bless thee for a ray That leads to everlasting day, 523. C. M. NEEDHAM. Prayer for the spread of the Gospel. 2 No more may senseless idols share 3 No more may persecution dare No longer shed the blood of saints 4 With its own pure and native light, 5 Whilst heaven-born truth her charms re May love each breast inspire; Nor one base passion ever mix, [veals, LIFE, DEATH, RESURRECTION, JUDGMENT AND ETERNITY. 524. L. M. DODDRIDGE. The Wisdom of redeeming Time. 1 GOD of eternity! from thee Did infant time his being draw: Moments and days, and months and years, Revolve by thine unvaried law. 2 Silent and swift they glide away Steady and strong the current flows, Lost in eternity's wide sea, The boundless gulf from which it rose. With it the thoughtless sons of men Before the rapid stream are borne to their everlasting home, Whence not one soul can e'er return. |
