Saints of God! the dawn is bright'ning

Meter: 8.7.6.1 Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saints of God! the dawn is bright'ning, Token of our coming Lord; O'er the earth the field is whit'ning; Louder rings the Master's word: Pray for reapers In the harvest of the Lord! 2 Now, O Lord, fulfil Thy pleasure, Breathe upon Thy chosen band, And, with Pentecostal measure, Send forth reapers o'er our land; Faithful reapers Gathering sheaves for Thy right hand. 3 Broad the shadow of our nation, Eager millions hither roam; Lo! they wait for Thy salvation; Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come; By Thy Spirit Bring Thy ransomed people home. 4 Soon shall end the time of weeping, Soon the reaping time will come; Heaven and earth together keeping God's eternal Harvest-Home. Saints and angels Shout the world's great Harvest-Home. Topics: Church

The morning light is breaking

Meter: 7.6.8.1 Appears in 1,171 hymnals 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 Savior's blessing, A nation in a day. 3 Blest river of salvation, Pursue thy 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!"

Hark! the voice of Jesus crying

Meter: 8.7.8.1 Appears in 505 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work to-day? Fields are white, and harvests waiting, Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth, Rich reward He offers thee; Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I, send me, send me"? 2 If you cannot cross the ocean, And the heathen lands explore, You can find the heathen nearer, You can help them at your door; If you cannot give your thousands, You can give the widow's mite, And the least you give for Jesus Will be precious in His sight. 3 If you cannot speak like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus, You can say He died for all. If you cannot rouse the wicked, With the judgment's dread alarms, You can lead the little children To the Savior's waiting arms. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the souls of men are dying, And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth-- "Here am I, send me, send me!" Topics: Church

Savior, sprinkle many nations

Meter: 8.7.8.1 Appears in 160 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Savior, sprinkle many nations; Fruitful let Thy sorrows be; By Thy pains and consolations Draw the Gentiles unto Thee! Of Thy Cross the wondrous story, Be it to the nations told; Let them see Thee in Thy glory And Thy mercy manifold. 2 Far and wide, though all unknowing, Pants for Thee each mortal breast, Human tears for Thee are flowing, Human hearts in Thee would rest. Thirsting as for dews of even, As the new-mown grass for rain, Thee they seek as God of heaven, Thee as Man for sinners slain. 3 Savior, lo! the isles are waiting! Stretched the hand and strained the sight, For Thy Spirit, new creating, Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light. Give the word, and of the preacher Speed the foot and touch the tongue, Till on earth by every creature Glory to the Lamb be sung! Topics: Church

Soldiers of the cross, arise

Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of the cross, arise, Gird you with your armor bright; Mighty are your enemies, Hard the battle ye must fight. 2 O’er a faithless fallen world Raise your banner in the sky; Let it float there wide unfurled; Bear it onward; lift it high. 3 'Mid the homes of want and woe, Strangers to the living Word, Let the Savior’s herald go, Let the voice of hope be heard. 4 Where the shadows deepest lie, Carry truth’s unsullied ray; Where are crimes of blackest dye, There the saving sign display. 5 To the weary and the worn Tell of realms where sorrows cease; To the outcast and forlorn Speak of mercy and of peace. 6 Guard the helpless; seek the strayed; Comfort troubles; banish grief; In the might of God arrayed, Scatter sin and unbelief. 7 Be the banner still unfurled, Still unsheathed the Spirit’s sword, Till the kingdoms of the world Are the kingdom of the Lord.

Lord of the Church, we humbly pray

Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Church, we humbly pray For those who guide us in Thy way, And speak Thy holy Word; With love divine their hearts inspire, And touch their lips with hallowed fire, And needful strength afford. 2 Help them to preach the truth of God, Redemption through the Savior's blood; Nor let the Spirit cease On all the Church His gifts to shower; To them a messenger of power, To us, of life and peace. 3 So may they live to Thee alone; Then hear the welcome word,"Well done!" And take their crown above; Enter into their Master's joy, And all eternity employ In praise, and bliss, and love. Topics: Church

God of the prophets! bless the prophets' sons

Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of the prophets! bless the prophets' sons; Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast; Each age its solemn task may claim but once; Make each a nobler, stronger than the last! 2 Anoint them prophets! Make their ears attent To Thy divinest speech; their hearts awake To human need; their lips make eloquent To assure the right, and every evil break. 3 Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors they For pardon, and for charity and peace! Ah, if with them the world might pass, astray, Into the dear Christ's life of sacrifice! 4 Anoint them kings! aye, kingly kings, O Lord! Anoint them with the Spirit of Thy Son! Theirs not a jewelled crown, a blood-stained sword; Theirs, by sweet love, for Christ a kingdom won! 5 Make them apostles! Heralds of Thy cross; Forth may they go to tell all realms Thy grace; Inspired of Thee, may they count all but loss, And stand at last with joy before Thy face. 6 O mighty age of prophet-kings, return! O truth, O faith, enrich our urgent time! Lord Jesus Christ, again with us sojourn; A weary world awaits Thy reign sublime! Topics: Church
