The morning light is breaking

Author: Dr. S. F. Smith, 1808-1895 Appears in 1,171 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 The morning light is breaking; The darkness disappears; The sons of earth are waking To penitential tears. Each breeze that sweeps the ocean Brings tidings from afar, Of nations in commotion, Prepared for Zion's war. 2 See heathen nations bending Before the God we love, And thousand hearts ascending In gratitude above; While sinners, now confessing, The gospel call obey, And seek the Saviour's blessing, A nation in a day. 3 Blest river of salvation, Pursue thine onward way; Flow thou to every nation, Nor in thy richness stay; Stay not till all the lowly Triumphant reach their home; Stay not till all the holy Proclaim, "The Lord is come!"

From Greenland's icy mountains

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 1,681 hymnals Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Lyrics: 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 Can we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Can we, to men benighted, The lamp of life deny? Salvation, O, salvation! The joyful sound proclaim Till earth's remotest nation Has heard Messiah's name. Used With Tune: MISSIONARY HYMN

No vain excuses frame, respond to Christ today! None who to Jesus came were ever sent away. 4 Come to the Savior, all, whate'er your burdens be; hear now his loving call, "Cast all your care on me."
