Author: Bp. A. C. Coxe, 1818-1896 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #294 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, sprinkle many nations,
Fruitful let Thy sorrows be;
By Thy pains and consolations
Draw the Gentiles unto Thee;
Of Thy cross the wondrous story
Be to all the nations told;
Let them see Thee in Thy glory,
And Thy mercy manifold.
2 Far and wide, though all unknowing,
Yearns for Thee each mortal breast;
Human tears for Thee are flowing,
Human hearts in Thee would rest;
Thirsting, as for dews of even,
As the new-mown grass for rain,
Thee they seek, as God of heaven,
Thee, as man for sinners slain.
3 Saviour, lo! the isles are waiting,
Stretched the hand and strained the sight,
For Thy Spirit, new creating,
Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light;
Give the Word and of the preacher
Speed the foot, and touch the tongue,
Till on earth by every creature
Glory to the Lamb be sung. Topics: Gentiles Prayed for; Gentiles Prayed for; The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions; Kingdom of Christ (See Missions) Progress and triumph of ; Nations Submitting to God; Missions (See also Kingdom of Christ) Languages: English Tune Title: SANCTUARY
