Hymn 319 Lord Jesus, who from Galilee
1 Lord Jesus, who from Galilee sent forth the apostle band to take the gospel o’er the sea to men of every land: here, in another age and place, we meet with hearts aflame, and humbly plead for power and grace your teachings to proclaim.
2 New truth to us has been revealed, a new evangel given, the living Word at last unsealed to guide men’s steps to heaven. We, who have seen this truth aglow, and marvelled at the sight, must needs make known the things we know – we dare not hide the light.
3 Some would to earth’s remotest strand the precious doctrine bear, while others in the motherland would toil with equal care, until the spark, now dimly lit, has spread a quickening blaze, and all mankind have seen in it the glory of your ways.
4 But, Lord, the work is all your own; be yours the praise and gain; for if men try to build alone they labour but in vain. Commission us, though weak and few, your kingdom to extend; and, as it is your work we do, be with us to the end. Brian Kingslake 1907 -
