'The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest.'

mp when shall earth Thy rule obey?
WORD, her watch Thy Church is keeping;
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?
mp 2 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.

f3 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.

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:

mf Let them see Thee in Thy glory And Thy mercy manifold.

mp 2 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,

'The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.'

mfNORTH, with all thy vales of green,

O South, with all thy palms,

From peopled towns and fields between
Uplift the voice of psalms;
Raise, ancient East, the anthem high,
And let the youthful West reply.

2 Lo! in the clouds of heaven appears
God's well-beloved Son;

He brings a train of brighter years;
His kingdom is begun.

He comes, a guilty world to bless
With mercy, truth, and righteousness.

3 O Father, haste the promised hour
When at His feet shall lie

All rule, authority, and power
Beneath the ample sky,

When He shall reign from pole to pole,
The Lord of every human soul;

When all shall heed the words He said
Amid their daily cares,

And by the loving life He led

Shall seek to pattern theirs,

mf And He who conquered death shall win The nobler conquest over sin.
