Hymn 368 - O Zion, Haste

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.

Behold how many thousands still are lying,

Bound in the darksome prisonhouse of sin,

With none to tell them of the Saviour’s dying,

Or of the life He died for them to win.

Proclaim to ev’ry people, tongue, and nation

The God, in whom they live and move, is Love:

Tell how He stoop’d to save His lost creation,

And died on earth that man might live above.

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 all thou spendest Jesus will repay.

REFRAIN

Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace,

Tidings of Jesus, redemption and release.
