Hasten the time appointed

Author: Jane Borthwick Hymnal: EH1916 #477 (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: Hasten the time appointed, By prophets long foretold, When all shall dwell together, One Shepherd and one fold. Let every idol perish, To moles and bats be thrown, And every prayer be offered To God in Christ alone. Let Jew and Gentile, meeting From many a distant shore Around one altar kneeling, One common Lord adore. Let all that now divides us Remove and pass away, Like shadows of the morning Before the blaze of day. Let all that now unites us More sweet and lasting prove, A closer bond of union, In a blest land of love. Let war be learned no longer, Let strife and tumult cease, All earth his blessed kingdom, The Lord and Prince of Peace. O long-expected dawning, Come with thy cheering ray! When shall the morning brighten, The shadows flee away? O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on To pray, and hope, and labour, Till the dark night be gone.

Saviour, sprinkle many nations

Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Hymnal: EH1916 #478 (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 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. 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. 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! Amen.

The morning light is breaking

Author: Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: EH1916 #479 (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: The morning light is breaking; The darkness disappears; The sons of earth are waking To penitential tears; 437 Each breeze that sweeps the ocean Brings tidings from afar, Of nations in commotion, Prepared for Sion's war. 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. 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!"

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: EH1916 #480a (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Doth his successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. To him shall endless prayer be made, And praises throng to crown his head; His Name like sweet perfume shall rise With every morning sacrifice. People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his Name. 438 Blessings abound where'er he reigns; The prisoner leaps to lose his chains, The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honours to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen.

Lord, her watch Thy Church is keeping

Author: Henry Downton Hymnal: EH1916 #481 (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: Lord, her watch thy Church is keeping: When shall earth thy rule obey? When shall end the night of weeping? When shall break the promised day? See the whitening harvest languish, Waiting still the labourers' toil; Was it vain, thy Son's deep anguish? Shall the Strong retain the spoil? Tidings, sent to every creature, Millions yet have never heard: Can they hear without a preacher? Lord almighty, give the word! Give the word! in every nation Let the Gospel trumpet sound, Witnessing a world's salvation, To the earth's remotest bound. Then the end! Thy Church completed, All thy chosen gathered in, With their King in glory seated, Satan bound, and banished sin; Gone for ever parting, weeping, Hunger, sorrow, death, and pain; Lo! her watch thy Church is keeping; Come, Lord Jesus, come to reign! Amen. Topics: Missions Languages: English Tune Title: EVERTON

Fling out the banner! let it float

Author: George W. Doane Hymnal: EH1916 #482 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Fling out the banner! let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide; The sun that lights its shining folds, The cross, on which the Savior died. Fling out the banner! angels bend In anxious silence o'er the sign; And vainly seek to comprehend The wonder of the love divine. Fling out the banner! heathen lands Shall see from far the glorious sight, And nations, crowding to be born, Baptize their spirits in its light. Fling out the banner! sin-sick souls That sink and perish in the strife, Shall touch in faith its radiant hem, And spring immortal into life. Fling out the banner! let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide, Our glory, only in the cross; Our only hope, the Crucified! Fling out the banner! wide and high, Seaward and skyward, let it shine: Nor skill, nor might, nor merit ours; We conquer only in that sign.

God is working his purpose out

Author: Arthur C. Ainger Hymnal: EH1916 #483a (1916) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: God is working his purpose out, As year succeeds to year: God is working his purpose out, And the time is drawing near; 440 Nearer and nearer draws the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. From utmost east to utmost west, Where'er man's foot hath trod, By the mouth of many messengers Goes forth the voice of God; Give ear to me, ye continents, Ye isles, give ear to me, That the earth may be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. What can we do to work God's work, To prosper and increase The brotherhood of all mankind, The reign of the Prince of Peace? What can we do to hasten the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. March we forth in the strength of God, With the banner of Christ unfurled, That the light of the glorious gospel of truth May shine throughout the world: Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin To set their captives free, That the earth may be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. 441 All we can do is nothing worth, Unless God blesses the deed; Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide, Till God gives life to the seed; Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea.

Soon may the last glad song arise

Author: Mrs. Vokes Hymnal: EH1916 #484 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Soon may the last glad song arise Through all the millions of the skies; That song of triumph which records That all the earth is now the Lord's. Let thrones and powers and kingdoms be Obedient, mighty God, to thee; And over land and stream and main Wave thou the scepter of thy reign. O that the anthem now might swell, And host to host the triumph tell, That not one rebel heart remains, But over all the Savior reigns! Amen.
