Missionary Hymn. 7s & 6s.

Dr. L. MASON.

[graphic]

3. Shall we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Shall we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny?
Salvation! Oh, salvation!

The joyful sound proclaim,
Till earth's remotest nation

Has learned Messiah's name.

4. Waft, waft, ye winds, his story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory,

It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransomed nature

The Lamb, for sinners slain,

Redeemer, King, Creator,

In bliss returns to reign. HEBER.

126. Morning Light.

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 blessingA 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 has come."

S. F. SMITH

130. Good Tidings.

1. SHOUT the tidings of salvation
To the aged and the young,
Till the precious invitation
Waken every heart and tongue;
Shout the tidings of salvation
O'er the prairies of the west,
Till each gathering congregation
With the gospel sound is blest.

2. Shout the tidings of salvation,

Mingling with the ocean's roar,
Till the ships of every nation
Bear the news from shore to shore;
Shout the tidings of salvation
O'er the islands of the sea,

Till, in humble adoration,

All to Christ shall bow the knee.

May be sung also to HARWELL, No. 122.

131. Little Things.

Coda.

1. Little drops of water, Little grains of sand, Make the mighty ocean And the beauteous land, the beauteous land.

9:6

2. And the little moments,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.

3. So our little errors

Lead the soul away From the paths of virtue, Oft in sin to stray. 4 ittle deeds of kindness, Little words of love, Make our earth an Eden Like the heaven above.

5. Little seeds of mercy,
Sown by youthful hands,
Grow to bless the nations
Far in heathen lands.

132. Praise to Christ.

1. JESUS, high in glory.

Lend a listening ear;
When we bow before thee,
Infant praises hear.

2. We are little children,
Weak and apt to stray;
Saviour, guide and keep us
In the heavenly way.

3. Save us, Lord, from sinning,
Watch us day by day;
Help us now to love thee,
Take our sins away.

4. Then, when Jesus calls us To our heavenly home, We will answer gladly, "Saviour, Lord, we come."
