Hymn 529 O ZION, HASTE Lyrics

1. 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.

Chorus:
Published glad tidings,
Tidings of peace;
Tidings of Jesus,
Redemption and release.

2. Behold how many thousands still are lying
Bound in the dark some prison house of sin,
With none to tell them of the Saviour’s dying
Or of the life He died for them to win.

3. Proclaim to every people, tongue and nation
That God in whom they live and move is love
Tell how He stooped to save His lost creation,
And died on earth that man might live above.

4. 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 praying victorious;
And all thou spendest Jesus will repay.
