Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease "GIVE us room, that we may dwell," Zion's children cry aloud: See their numbers-how they swell! How they gather like a cloud! 2 Oh how bright the morning seems! Brighter from so dark a night: Zion is like one that dreams, Filled with wonder and delight. 3 Lo! thy sun goes down no more, God himself will be thy light: All that caused thee grief before, Buried, lies in endless night. 4 Zion, now arise and shine! Lo! thy light from heaven is come! These that crowd from far are thine; Give thy sons and daughters room. 8s, 7s & 4. 368 YES! we trust the day is breaking; Darkness flies at his command. 2 While the foe becomes more daring, Soon shall tell the love of God. 3 Oh! 'tis pleasant-'tis reviving Who in death and darkness lay. 4 God of Jacob, high and glorious, Perish, Lord—at thy command. 8s & 7s. 369 Consecration to the Service of Christ. WITH my substance I will honor 2 While the heralds of salvation His abounding grace proclaim, Let his friends, of every station, Gladly join to spread his fame. s May his kingdom be promoted; May the world the Saviour know; Be my all to him devoted; To my Lord my all I owe. 4 Praise the Saviour, all ye nations; 370 P. M. Departure of Missionaries. ROLL on, thou mighty ocean! 2 O thou eternal Ruler! 371 Who holdest in thine arm Though far from us who love them- S. M. YE messengers of Christ, His sovereign voice obey; 4 Mountains shall sink to plains, The cause is God's-and will prevail 372 L. M. Departure of Missionaries. YE Christian heralds, 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 labors 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. 373 P. M. Subjection of the Nations to Christ prayed for. When hill and valley, ringing With one triumphant song, High tower and lowly dwelling All hallelujah swelling, In one eternal sound! 374 S. M. Love and Devotion to the Church. I LOVE thy kingdom, Lord, The house of thine abode, The church our blest Redeemer saved 2 I love thy church, O God! Her walls before thee stand, 4 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion-solemn vows, 5 Jesus, thou friend divine, Our Saviour, and our King, 6 Sure as thy truth shall last, The brightest glories earth can yield, 375 7s. Universal Reign of Christ. HASTEN, Lord, the glorious time, Every nation, every clime, Shall the gospel call obey. |
