‘FOR My sake and the gospel’s, go
and tell redemption’s story’;
His heralds answer, ‘Be it so,
and Yours, Lord, all the glory!’
They preach His birth, His life, His cross,
the love of His atonement,
for whom they count the world but loss,
His Easter, His enthronement.
2 Hark, hark, the trump of jubilee
proclaims to every nation,
from pole to pole, by land and sea,
glad tidings of salvation.
As nearer draws the day of doom,
while still the battle rages,
the heavenly Day-spring through the gloom
breaks on the night of ages.
3 Still on and on the anthems spread
of hallelujah voices,
in concert with the holy dead
the warrior church rejoices;
their snow-white robes are washed in blood,
their golden harps are ringing;
earth and the paradise of God
one triumph-song are singing.
4 He comes, whose advent-trumpet drowns
the last of time’s evangels,
Immanuel crowned with many crowns,
the Lord of saints and angels:
O Life, Light, Love, the great I AM,
triune, who changes never,
the throne of God and of the Lamb
is Yours, and Yours for ever!
Edward Henry Bickersteth, 1825-1906

THE heavens declare Thy glory, Lord,
in every star Thy wisdom shines;
but when our eyes behold Thy Word,
we read Thy Name in fairer lines.
2 The rolling sun, the changing light,
and night and day, Thy power confess;
but the blest volume Thou hast writ
reveals Thy justice and Thy grace.
3 Sun, moon and stars convey Thy praise
round the whole earth, and never stand:
so when Thy truth began its race,
it touched and glanced on every land.
4 Nor shall Thy spreading gospel rest
till through the world Thy truth has run;
till Christ has all the nations blest,
that see the light, or feel the sun.
5 Great Sun of righteousness, arise,
bless the dark world with heavenly light:
Thy gospel makes the simple wise;
Thy laws are pure, Thy judgments right.
6 Thy noblest wonders here we view,
in souls renewed, and sins forgiven:
Lord cleanse my sins, my soul renew,
and make Thy Word my guide to heaven.
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748

COME, let us sing of a wonderful love,
tender and true;
out of the heart of the Father above,
streaming to me and to you:
wonderful love
dwells in the heart of the Father above.
2 Jesus, the Saviour, this gospel to tell
joyfully came;
came with the helpless and hopeless to dwell,
sharing their sorrow and shame;
seeking the lost,
saving, redeeming at measureless cost.
3 Jesus is seeking the wanderers yet;
why do they roam?
Love only waits to forgive and forget;
home! weary wanderer, home!
Wonderful love
dwells in the heart of the Father above.
4 Come to my heart, O Thou wonderful love!
Come and abide,
lifting my life till it rises above
envy and falsehood and pride,
seeking to be
lowly and humble, a learner of Thee.
Robert Walmsley, 1831-1905

HIS hands were pierced, the hands that made
the mountain range and everglade;
that washed the stains of sin away
and changed earth’s darkness into day.
2 His feet were pierced, the feet that trod
the furthest shining star of God;
and left their imprint deep and clear
on every winding pathway here.
3 His heart was pierced, the heart that burned
to comfort every heart that yearned;
and from it flowed a cleansing flood,
the river of redeeming blood.
4 His hands and feet and heart, all three,
were pierced for me on Calvary;
and here and now, to Him I bring
my hands, feet, heart, an offering.
