943. 7s & 6s.

1. FROM Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains

Roll down their golden sand;
From many an 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 strown;
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 each remotest nation

Has learned 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.

944. 7s & 6s.

1. Now be the gospel banner
In every land unfurl'd;
And be the shout hosanna
Re-echoed through the world:
Till ev'ry isle and nation,

Till every tribe and tongue,
Receive the great salvation,

And join the happy throng.
2. Yes, Thou shalt reign for ever,
O Jesus, King of kings!
Thy light, Thy love, Thy favor,
Each ransomed captive sings:
The isles for Thee are waiting,

The deserts learn Thy praise, The hills and valleys greeting, The song responsive raise.

1. Ye Christian heroes, go, proclaim Sal-va-tion thro' Immanuel's name; To distant climes the

ti-dings bear, And plant the rose of Sha-ron there, And plant the rose of Sharon there.

1. TRIUMPHANT Zion! lift thy head
From dust, and darkness, and the dead!
Though humbled long-awake at length,
And gird thee with thy Saviour's strength!|
2. Put all thy beauteous garments on,
And let thy excellence be known;
Decked in the robes of righteousness,
The world thy glories shall confess.

3. No more shall foes unclean invade,
And fill thy hallowed walls with dread;
No more shall hell's insulting host
Their victory and thy sorrows boast.

4. God, from on high, has heard thy prayer;
His hand thy ruins shall repair;
Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease
To guard thee in eternal peace.

1. ARM of the Lord! awake, awake!
Put on Thy strength! the nations shake!
And let the world, adoring, see
Triumphs of mercy wrought by Thee.

2. Say to the heathen, from Thy throne-
"I am Jehovah-God alone!"
Thy voice their idols shall confound,
And cast their altars to the ground.

3. Almighty God! Thy grace proclaim
In every land, of every name;
Let Zion's time of favor come;
Oh! bring the tribes of Israel home.
4. Arm of the Lord! awake, awake!
Put on Thy strength! the nations shake!
Let hostile powers before Thee fall,
And crown the Saviour Lord of all,

949. L. M. Peculiar.

2. Hail, Jesus! all victorious Lord!
Be Thou by all mankind adored!
For us didst Thou the fight maintain,
And o'er our foes the victory gain,
That we, with Thee, might ever reign
In endless day.

3. Fight on, ye conquering souls, fight on,
And when the conquest you have won,
Then palms of victory you shall bear,
And in His kingdom have a share,
And crowns of glory ever wear,
In endless day.

4. There we shall in full chorus join,
With saints and angels, all combine
To sing of His redeeming love,
When rolling years shall cease to move,
And this shall be our theme above,
In endless day.

[blocks in formation]

Mercy and justice here combine,
Goodness and truth harmonious join,
T'invite you near.

3. Ye saints in glory, strike the lyre;
Ye mortals, catch the sacred fire;
Let both the Saviour's love proclaim-
For ever worthy is the Lamb
Of endless praise.

951. L. M.

1. FROM day to day, before our eyes,
Grows and extends the work begun;
When shall the new creation rise
O'er every land beneath the sun?
2. When, in the sabbath of His love,
Shall God from all His labors rest;
And bending from His throne above,
Again pronounce His creatures blest?
3. As sang the morning stars of old,

Shouted the sons of God for joy;
His widening reign while we behold,
Let praise and prayer our tongues em-
ploy.

4. Till the redeemed in every clime,

Yea, all that breathe, and move, and live, To Christ, through every age of time, The kingdom, power, and glory give.

dawn be-gun, That marks at hand the rising sun, That marks at hand the rising sun.

2. The friends of truth assembled stand,
A chosen, consecrated band,
The emblem of the cross display,
And cry aloud-" Behold the way!"

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. "Behold the way!" ye heralds ! cry,
Spare not, but lift your voices high,
Convey the sound from shore to shore;
And bid the captive sigh no more.

5. Auspicious dawn! thy rising ray,
With joy we view, and hail the day;
Thou Sun! arise, supremely bright,
And fill the world with purest light.

1. Go-messenger of peace and love!
To nations plunged in shades of night;
Like angels sent from fields above,
Be Thine to shed celestial light.

2. Go to the hungry food impart ;

To paths of peace the wanderer guide, And lead the thirsty, panting heart, Where streams of living waters glide. 3. Go-bid the bright and morning-star, From Bethlehem's plains resplendent shine,

1. MARKED as the purpose of the skies,
This promise meets our anxious eyes,
That heathen lands the Lord shall know,
And warm with faith each bosom glow.
2. E'en now the hallowed scenes appear;
E'en now unfolds the promised year;
Lo! distant shores Thy heralds trace,
And bear the tidings of Thy grace.

3. 'Mid burning climes and frozen plains,
Where pagan darkness brooding reigns,
Lord! mark their steps, their fears subdue,
And nerve their arm, and clear their view.

4. When, worn by toil, their spirits fail,
Bid them the glorious future hail;
Bid them the crown of life survey,
And onward urge their conquering way.
