New Missionary Hymn

lyricist: Daniel Eddy, 1880
Composer: W. F. Werschkul

God of na­tions

let sal­va­tion

Sound aloud from sea to sea;

Let the out­posts of the na­tion

Swell the glor­ious ju­bi­lee;

Wide as prair­ies

wide as prair­ies

Let the bounds of mer­cy be

Let the bounds of mer­cy be;

Wide as prair­ies

wide as prair­ies

Let the bounds of mer­cy be

Let the bounds of mer­cy be.

Thro’ the val­leys

o’er the mount­ains

Let the red cross ban­ner go;

Turn the rocks and hills to fount­ains

From which tides of grace shall flow;

Flow to mill­ions

flow to mill­ions

Held in chains of guilt and woe

Held in chains of guilt and woe;

Flow to mill­ions

flow to mill­ions

Held in chains of guilt and woe

Held in chains of guilt and woe.

Let the In­dian in his wild­ness

Let the freed­man in his gloom

Taste the merc­y and the mild­ness

Of the Lord who left the tomb;

And in Heav­en

and in Heav­en

For all tribes of men made room

For all tribes of men made room;

And in Heav­en

and in Heav­en

For all tribes of men made room

For all tribes of men made room.
