Author: Mary A. Thomson, 1834-1923 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #430 (2006) First Line: O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling Refrain First Line: Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace 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.
Refrain:
Publish glad tidings,
Tidings of peace;
Tidings of Jesus,
Redemption, and release.
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. (Refrain)
3 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. (Refrain)
4 Give of your 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 all thou spendest Jesus will repay. (Refrain) Topics: Missions General; Soul Winning Languages: English Tune Title: TIDINGS
O Zion, Haste
