2 Then, brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother!
For where love dwells, the peace of God is there;
To worship rightly is to love each other;

Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.

3 Follow, with reverent steps, the great example
Of Him whose holy work was doing good;
So shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple,
Each loving life a psalm of gratitude.

4 Thus shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangor
Of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease;
Love shall tread out the baleful fires of anger,
And in its ashes plant the tree of peace.

John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892.

1. O'er the gloom-y hills of dark-ness Cheer'd by no ce les- tial ray,

Sun of Righteous-ness, a - rising, Bring the bright, the glo- rious day;

Send the gospel, send the gospel To the earth's re- mot - est bounds.

(Or to Corinth.)

2 Let the Indian, let the Negro,
Let the rude barbarian see
That divine and glorious conquest,
Once obtained on Calvary;

Let the gospel, let the gospel,
Wide resound from pole to pole.

3 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness,
Grant them, Lord; the glorious light,
And from eastern coast to western
May the morning chase the night;
And redemption, and redemption,
Freely purchased, win the day.

4 May the glorious day approaching,
Thine eternal Love proclaim,
And the everlasting gospel
Spread abroad Thy holy Name,
O'er the borders, o'er the borders
Of the great Emmanuel's land.

5 Fly abroad, thou mighty gospel,
Win and conquer, never cease;
May thy lasting, wide dominions
Multiply and still increase;

Sway Thy sceptre, sway Thy sceptre, Saviour, all the world around,

Rev. William Williams, 1772.

1. From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's cor-al strand, Where Afric's sunny

fountains Roll down their golden sand, From many an an-cient river,

From many a palmy plain, They call us to de- liver Their land from error's chain.

2 What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile;
In vain with lavish kindness

The gifts of God are strown;
The heathen in his blindness

Bows down to wood and stone.

3 Can we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high
Can we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny?
Salvation! O salvation!

The joyful sound proclaim,

Till each remotest nation

Has learnt Messiah's Name.

4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story And you, ye waters, roll,

Till like a sea of glory

It spread from pole to pole;
Till o'er our ransomed nature

The Lamb for sinners slain,

2 Rich dews of grace come o'er us
In many a gentle shower;
And brighter scenes before us
Are opening every hour:
Each cry to heaven going
Abundant answer brings;
And heavenly gales are blowing,
With peace upon their wings.

3 See heathen nations bending
Before the God we love,
And thousand hearts ascending
In gratitude above;
While sinners, now confessing,
The gospel call obey,

And seek the Saviour's blessing,-
A nation in a day.

4 Blest river of salvation,

Pursue thy onward way;
Flow thou to every nation,
Nor in thy richness stay:
Stay not till all the lowly
Triumphant reach their home;
