O ZION, HASTE

Words: Mary A. Thomson
Music: James Walch

O Zion, haste, thy mis?sion high ful?fill?ing,
To tell to all the world that God is light,
That He who made all na?tions is not will?ing
One soul should per?ish, lost in shades of night.

Refrain:
Publish glad tid?ings, tid?ings of peace;
Tidings of Je?sus, re?demp?tion and re?lease.

Behold how many thou?sands still are ly?ing
Bound in the dark?some pri?son house of sin,
With none to tell them of the Sav?ior’s dy?ing,
Or of the life He died for them to win.

Proclaim to ev?ery peo?ple, tongue, and na?tion
That God, in whom they live and move, is love;
Tell how He stooped to save His lost cre?ation,
And died on earth that we might live above.

’Tis thine to save from per?il of per?di?tion
The souls for whom the Lord His life laid down:
Beware lest, sloth?ful to ful?fill thy mis?sion,
Thou lose one jew?el that should deck His crown.

Give of thy sons to bear the mes?sage glo?ri?ous;
Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way;
Pour out thy soul for them in pray?er vic?tor?ious;
O Zi?on, haste to bring the bright?er day.

He comes again! O Zi?on, ere thou meet Him,
Make known to ev?ery heart His sav?ing grace:
Let none whom he Hath ran?somed fail to greet Him,
Through thy ne?glect, un?fit to see His face.
