Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.810
First Line: Awake ! awake ! the Master now is calling us,
Awake ! awake ! the Master now is
calling us ;
Arise ! arise ! and, trusting in His word,
Go forth, go forth ! proclaim the year
of jubilee,
And take the Work, the blessed
Word, of Christ our Lord.
On, . on, swell the cho - rus ! .
On, . on, the Morning Star is shining o'er us !
On, . on, while before . us
Our mighty, mighty Saviour leads the way ! . . .
Glory, glory, hear the everlasting throng
Shout hosanna ! while we boldly march along !
Faithful soldiers here below,
Only Jesus will we know,
Shouting halleluiahs as we onward go
2 A cry for light from dying ones in
heathen lands ;
It comes, it comes, across the ocean's
foam ;
Then haste, oh, haste, to spread the words of truth abroad,
Forgetting not the starving poor at
home, dear home.
3 O Church of God, extend thy kind,
maternal arms [dark and cold !
To save the lost on mountains
Reach out thy hand with loving smile
to rescue them,
And bring them to the shelter of
the Saviour's fold.
4 Look up ! look up ! the promised day
is drawing near,
When all shall hail, shall hail the
Saviour King,
When peace and joy shall fold their
wings in every clime,
And glorious hallelujahs o'er the
earth shall ring.
