<blockquote>
|
|
<p>I wrote the greater part of the hymn, “O, Sion, Haste,” in the year 1868. I had written many hymns before, and one night, while I was sitting up with one of my children who was ill with typhoid fever, I thought I should like to write a missionary hymn to the tune of the hymn, “<a href = "./hymns/hymns_html/htm_h_a_harkhark.html">Hark, Hark, My Soul, Angelic Songs Are Swelling</a>,” as I was fond of that tune, but as I could not then get a refrain I liked, I left
|
|
the hymn unfinished and about three years I finished it by writing the refrain which now forms a part of it.</p>

|
|
<p>O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling,<br>
|
|
To tell to all the world that God is light,<br>
|
|
That He who made all nations is not willing<br>
|
|
One soul should perish, lost in shades of night.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace;<br>
|
|
Tidings of Jesus, redemption and release.</p>
|
|
<p>Behold how many thousands still are lying<br>
|
|
Bound in the darksome prison house of sin,<br>
|
|
With none to tell them of the Savior’s dying,<br>
|
|
Or of the life He died for them to win.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation<br>
|
|
That God, in Whom they live and move, is love;<br>
|
|
Tell how He stooped to save His lost creation,<br>
|
|
And died on earth that we might live above.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>’Tis thine to save from peril of perdition<br>
|
|
The souls for whom the Lord His life laid down:<br>
|
|
Beware lest, slothful to fulfill thy mission,<br>
|
|
Thou lose one jewel that should deck His crown.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious;<br>
|
|
Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way;<br>
|
|
Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious;<br>
|
|
O Zion, haste to bring the brighter day.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>He comes again! O Zion, ere thou meet Him,<br>
|
|
Make known to every heart His saving grace:<br>
|
|
Let none whom he Hath ransomed fail to greet Him,<br>
|
|
Through thy neglect, unfit to see His face.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
