PREFACE. 
 
 The following small collection of psalms 
 and hymns has been drawn up and arranged 
 to bring out and illustrate the great truth, 
 that missionary enterprise is not a frag¬ 
 mentary or exceptional part of the Divine 
 plan and of the Christian life ; but that it 
 is the development of the eternal purpose 
 of God in the redemption of the world by 
 Christ Jesus, on the one hand, and is the 
 highest manifestation of the spiritual life of 
 the Church of God and of the consecrated 
 believer on the other. 
 
 To bring into prominence these great 
 truths, we have grouped the hymns around 
 the three-fold name of the Father, the Son, 
 and the Holy Spirit, and under the truths 
 by which the believer lives and labours in 
 carrying out the purpose of God toward 
 our fallen race. 
 
 This little book is the fruit of brief hours 
 of rest from work and of a journey in Ame¬ 
 rica in the service of the Conference, on 
 Foreign Missions. May it prove the fit ex-

 pression of faith, hope and love during the 
 meetings, a stimulus to effort for the salvation 
 of all men, and the means of spreading and 
 deepening the conviction that “ Missions ” 
 are the grand aim and end of the Christian 
 Church and the great desire and design of 
 the triune God. 
 
 We are conscious of defects and faults 
 in the carrying out ^of our ideal of a mis¬ 
 sionary Hymnal. One cause of failure was 
 unavoidable—the limited number, and de¬ 
 fective character of many, of that class of 
 hymns. The Christian poet of missionary 
 enterprise has not yet appeared. We have 
 in a few instances sacrificed a little of 
 aesthetic feeling on the shrine of Christian 
 sentiment and sacred associations. 
 
 Note. —If in the haste of getting up this 
 collection we have unwittingly infringed the 
 copyright of any author or publisher, we 
 beg to express our regret, and as the collec¬ 
 tion is printed for a temporary purpose, and 
 not for profit, we hope to be excused. We 
 gratefully acknowledge the kindness of those 
 who have so willingly given the permission 
 sought.

 All people that on earth do dwell, 
 
 Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice. 
 
 Him serve with mirth, His praise 
 ^ tell, 
 
 Come ye before Him and rejoice. 
 
 2 Know that the Lord is God indeed ; 
 Without our aid He did us make : 
 
 We are His flock, He doth us feed, 
 
 And for His sheep He doth us take. 
 
 3 O enter then His gates with praise, 
 Approach with joy His courts unto : 
 Praise, laud, and bless His name always, 
 For it is seemly so to do. 
 
 4 For why ? the Lord our God is good, 
 
 His mercy is for ever sure ; 
 
 His truth at all times firmly stood, 
 
 And shall from age to age endure. 
 
 (Psalm c.)

 Arm of the Lord, awake, awake ! 
 
 Put on Thy strength, the nations shake, 
 And let the world, adoring, see 
 Triumphs of mercy wrought by Thee.

 “ I am Jehovah, God alone 
 
 Thy voice their idols shall confound 
 
 And cast their altars to the ground.

 Oh, bring the tribes of Israel home ; 
 
 And let our wondering eyes behold 
 Gentiles and Jews in Jesus’ fold.

 In every clime of every name ; 
 
 Let adverse powers before Thee fall, 
 
 And crown the Saviour Lord of All.

 God loved the world of sinners lost 
 And ruined by the fall ; 
 
 Salvation full, at highest cost, 
 
 He offers free to all. 
 
 Oh ! ’twas love, ’twas wondrous love. 
 The love of God to me ; 
 
 It brought my Saviour from above, 
 
 To die on Calvary. 
 
 2 E’en now, by faith, I claim Him mine, 
 
 The risen Son of God ; 
 
 Redemption by His death I find, 
 
 And cleansing through His blood. 
 
 3 Love brings the glorious fulness in, 
 
 And to His saints makes known 
 The blessed rest from inbred sin, 
 
 Through faith in Christ alone. 
 
 4 Believing souls, rejoicing go ; 
 
 There shall to you be given 
 A glorious foretaste here below 
 Of endless life in heaven.

 Let all the ransomed sing, 
 
 And triumph in the dying hour,

 Let the nations shout and sing 
 Glory to their Saviour King, 
 
 At Thy feet their tribute pay, 
 
 And Thy holy will obey.

 Earth shall then her fruits afford,

 HASTEN, Lord ! the glorious time 
 When, beneath Messiah’s sway, 
 
 Every nation, every clime, 
 
 Shall the gospel’s call obey.

 Heathen tribes His name adore ; 
 Satan and his host, o’ert’nrown, 
 
 Bound in chains, shall hurt no more. 
 
 3 Then shall wars and tumults cease, 
 
 Then be banished grief and pain ; 
 Righteousness and joy and peace 
 Undisturbed shall ever reign.

 Ever praise His glorious name ; 
 
 All His mighty acts record ; 
 
 All His wondrous love proclaim.

 To Him that loved the souls of men 
 And washed us in His blood, 
 
 To royal honours raised our head 
 And made us priests to God,— 
 
 2 To Him let every tongue be praise, 
 
 And every heart be love ! 
 
 All grateful honours paid on earth, 
 
 And nobler songs above! 
 
 3 Behold, on flying clouds He comes ! 
 
 His saints shall bless the day ; 
 
 While they that pierced Him sadly" 
 mourn 
 
 In anguish and dismay". 
 
 4 Thou art the First, and Thou the Last ; 
 
 Time centres all in Thee, 
 
 Th’ Almighty God, Who was, and is, 
 And evermore shall be. 
 
 97 L.M. 
 
 Jesus ! Thy Church with longing eyes 
 For Thine expected coming waits ; 
 When will the promised light arise, 
 
 And glory beam from Zion’s gates ? 
 
 2 E’en now, when tempests round us fall 
 And wintry clouds o’ercast the sky, 
 
 Thy words with pleasure we recall, 
 
 And deem that our redemption’s nigh.

 THE SECOND ADVENT 
 
 3 Oh, come and reign o’er every land ; 
 
 Let Satan from his throne be hurled, 
 
 All nations bow to Thy command, 
 
 And grace revive a dying world. 
 
 4 Teach us in watchfulness and prayer 
 
 To wait for the appointed hour. 
 
 And fit us by Thy grace to share 
 
 The triumphs of Thy conquering 
 power. 
 
 98 s.m. 
 
 COME, Lord ! and tarry not; 
 
 Bring the long-looked-for day ; 
 
 Oh, why these years of waiting here, 
 These ages of delay ? 
 
 2 Come, for Thy saints still wait: 
 
 Daily ascends their sigh ; 
 
 The Spirit and the Bride say, Come ! 
 
 Dost Thou not hear the cry ? 
 
 3 Come, and make all things new, 
 
 Build up this ruined earth, 
 
 Restore our faded paradise,— 
 
 Creation’s second birth. 
 
 4 Come and begin Thy reign 
 Of everlasting peace; 
 
 Come, take the kingdom to Thyself, 
 
 Great King of Righteousness !

 2 Come, blessed Lord ! let every shore 
 
 And answering island sing 
 The praises of thy royal name, 
 
 And own Thee as their King. 
 
 3 Bid the whole earth, responsive now 
 
 To the bright world above, 
 
 Break forth in sweetest strains of joy 
 I n memory of Thy love. 
 
 4 Jesus ! Thy fair creation groans, 
 
 The air, the earth, the sea, 
 
 In unison with all our hearts, 
 
 And calls aloud for Thee. 
 
 Thine was the Cross, with all its fruits 
 Of grace and peace divine ; 
 
 Be Thine the crown of glory now, 
 
 The palm of victory Thine. 
 
 100 P.M. 
 
 Lo ! He comes with clouds descending, 
 Once for favoured sinners slain ; 
 Thousand, thousand saints attending 
 Swell the triumph of His train : 
 Hallelujah ! 
 
 God appears on earth to reign ! 
 
 ^ Every eye shall now behold Him 
 Robed in dreadful majesty ; 
 
 Those who set at nought and sold Him, 
 Pierced and nailed Him to the tree, 
 Deeply wailing, 
 
 Shall the true Messiah see.

 3 Every island, sea, and mountain, 
 
 Heaven and earth shall flee away ; 
 
 All who hate Him must, confounded. 
 Hear the trump proclaim the day : 
 
 “ Come to judgment! 
 
 Come to judgment ! come away ! ” 
 
 4 Now redemption, long expected, 
 
 See in solemn pomp appear! 
 
 All His saints, by man rejected, 
 
 Now shall meet Him in the air : 
 Hallelujah ! 
 
 See the day of God appear ! 
 
 5Vea, amen ! Let all adore Thee 
 High on Thine eternal throne, 
 Saviour, take the power and glory, 
 
 Claim the kingdom for Thine own ; 
 Oh, come quickly ! 
 
 Hallelujah ! come, Lord, come! 
 
 101 8.7. 
 
 Yes, we trust the day is breaking; 
 
 Joyful times are near at hand ; 
 
 God, the mighty God, is speaking 
 By His word in every land : 
 
 When He comes His lost ones seeking. 
 Darkness flees at His command.

 3 While the foe becomes more daring, 
 
 While he enters like a flood, 
 
 God the Saviour is preparing 
 Means to spread His truth abroad ; 
 Every tongue and every language 
 Soon shall tell the love of God. 
 
 4 Oh, how pleasant, how reviving 
 
 To our hearts, to hear each day 
 Joyful news from far arriving, 
 
 That the Gospel wins its way ; 
 
 Those enlightening and enlivening 
 Who in death and darkness lay. 
 
 5 God of Israel, high and glorious, 
 
 Let Thy people see Thy hand ; 
 
 Let the Gospel be victorious 
 
 Through the world, in every land ; 
 Come, Lord Jesus, O come quickly ; 
 Lord, Thy blessing now command. 
 
 102 p.m. 
 
 Ten thousand times ten thousand, 
 
 In sparkling raiment bright, 
 
 The armies of the ransomed saints 
 Throng up the steeps of light : 
 
 ’Tis finished ! all is finished,— 
 
 Their fight with death and sin ; 
 
 Fling open wide the golden gates, 
 
 And let the victors in. 
 
 2 W 7 hat rush of hallelujahs 
 
 Fills all the earth and sky ! 
 
 What ringing of a thousand harps 
 Bespeaks the triumph nigh ! 
 
 O day, for which creation 
 
 And all its tribes were made ' 
 
 O joy, for all its former woes 
 A thousandfold repaid !

 3 Oh, then, what raptured greetings 
 On Canaan’s happy shore ! 
 
 What knitting severed friendships up 
 Where partings are no more ! 
 
 Then eyes with joy shall sparkle 
 That brimmed with tears of late ; 
 Orphans no longer fatherless, 
 
 Nor widows desolate. 
 
 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, 
 
 Thou Lamb for sinners slain ; 
 
 Fill up the roll of Thine elect, 
 
 Then take Thy power, and reign : 
 Appear, Desire of nations ! 
 
 Thine exiles long for home ; 
 
 Show in the heavens Thy promised sign 
 Thou Prince and Saviour, come ! 
 
 103 
 
 The Church has waited long 
 Her absent Lord to see ; 
 
 And still in loneliness she waits, 
 
 A friendless stranger she. 
 
 Age after Age has gone, 
 
 Sun after sun has set, 
 
 And still, in weeds of widowhood, 
 
 She weeps, a mourner yet: 
 
 Come, then, Lord Jesus, come 1 
 
 2 Saint after saint on earth 
 
 Has lived and loved and died ; 
 
 And, as they left us one by one, 
 
 We laid them side by side ; 
 
 We laid them down to sleep, 
 
 But not in hope forlorn, 
 
 We laid them to await the change 
 Till the last glorious morn : 
 
 Come, then, Lord Jesus, come !

 We long to hear Thy voice, 
 
 To see Thee face to face, 
 
 To share Thy crown and glory there, 
 As here we share Thy grace. 
 
 Should not the loving Bride 
 The absent Bridegroom mourn ? 
 Should she not wear the weeds of grief 
 Until the Lord return ? 
 
 Come, then, Lord Jesus, come ! 
 
 4 The whole creation groans, 
 
 And waits to hear that voice 
 Which shall restore her comeliness 
 And make her wastes rejoice. 
 
 Come, Lord, and wipe away 
 The curse, the sin, the stain, 
 
 And make this blighted world of ours 
 Thine own fair world again : 
 
 Come, then, Lord Jesus, come !
