O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling
Author: Mrs. Mary A. Thomson, 1834- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #297b (1917) Hymnal Title: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book 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:
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.
3 'Tis thine to save, from peril of perdition,
The souls for whom the Lord His life laid down;
Beware lest, slothful to fulfil thy mission,
Thou lose one jewel that should deck His crown.
4 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.
5 Give of thy 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 haste the coming of the glorious day.
6 He comes again O Zion, ere thou meet Him,
Make known to every heart His saving grace;
Let none whom He hath ransomed fail to greet Him,
Through thy neglect, unfit to see His face. Topics: Consecration To Ministry; The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions; Ministry Consecration to ; Missions (See also Kingdom of Christ) Languages: English Tune Title: SOMERCOTES
O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling
We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen
Author: Anna Bartlett Warner, 1820-1885 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #469 (1917) Hymnal Title: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen
Across this little landscape of our life;
We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen
For the last weariness, the final strife.
2 We would see Jesus, the great rock foundation
Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace:
Nor life nor death, with all their agitation,
Can thence remove us, if we see His face.
3 We would see Jesus: other lights are paling,
Which for long years we have rejoiced to see;
The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing:
We would not mourn them, for we go to Thee.
4 We would see Jesus: yet the spirit lingers
Round the dear objects it has loved so long,
And earth from earth can scarce unclasp its fingers;
Our love to Thee makes not this love less strong.
5 We would see Jesus: sense is all too binding,
And heaven appears too dim, too far away;
We would see Thee, Thyself our hearts reminding
What Thou hast suffered, our great debt to pay.
6 We would see Jesus: this is all we're needing;
Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight;
We would see Jesus dying, risen, pleading;
Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night. Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer; Sea Storms at ; Storms Of Life; Longing For Christ Languages: English Tune Title: SOMERCOTES
