_Victory of the Church._
See the flag of Jesus O'er the earth unfurled!
Sabbath-schools are singing, All around the world; Sunday-schools in China, India and j.a.pan, Training souls for glory, By the gospel plan.
Cho.--Lift the cross of Jesus, Bear the Bible on; Soon the world will echo, With the vict'ry won.
See the flag of Jesus, O'er the earth unfurled!
Sunday-schools are singing, All around the world.
2 Little Indian diamonds, Precious island pearls; Learning Bible lessons, Happy boys and girls.
Afric's gold dust scattered, Neath the feet of wrong, Rises up in brightness, From the darkness long.
3 Sunday-schools are singing, France and Spain and Rome; Hear their joyous music, Songs of heaven and home.
Where the martyrs suffered, Holy seed is spread; Gather up these rubies, Dyed in life-blood red.
4 Sunday-schools in Chili, Reaching down the coast; Mexico is leading, Gallant little host.
Glad Brazilian children, Praise to G.o.d shall sing; Far-off Patagonia Answers Christ is King.
Priscilla J. Owens.

_The Messenger Welcomed._ (928)
How beauteous on the mountains, The feet of him that brings, Like streams from living fountains, Good tidings of good things; That publisheth salvation, And jubilee release, To ev'ry tribe and nation, G.o.d's reign of joy and peace.
2 Lift up thy voice, oh, watchman!
And shout from Zion's towers, Thy hallelujah chorus-- "The victory is ours!"
The Lord shall build up Zion In glory and renown, And Jesus, Judah's lion, Shall wear his rightful crown.
3 Break forth in hymns of gladness; Oh, waste Jerusalem!
Let songs, instead of sadness, Thy jubilee proclaim; The Lord in strength victorious, Upon thy foes hath trod; Behold, oh, earth! the glorious Salvation of our G.o.d.
Benjamin Gough, 186-.
461 Herold. 7s.
_Christian Ministers._ (1039)
Soldiers of the cross! arise; Gird you with your armor bright; Mighty are your enemies, Hard the battle ye must fight.
2 Guard the helpless, seek the strayed, Soothe the troubled, banish grief; With the Spirit's sword arrayed, Scatter sin and unbelief.
3 Be the banner still unfurled, Bear it bravely still abroad, Till the kingdoms of the world Are the kingdoms of the Lord.
William Walsham How, 1854.
462 All Hallows. C.M.
_In the Strength of Jesus._ (983)
With thine own pity, Savior, see The thronged and darkening way!
We go to win the lost to thee, Oh, help us, Lord, we pray!
2 Thou bid'st us go, with thee to stand Against h.e.l.l's marshalled powers; And heart to heart, and hand to hand, To make thine honor ours.
3 Teach thou our lips of thee to speak, Of thy sweet love to tell; Till they who wander far shall seek And find and serve thee well.
4 O'er all the world thy Spirit send, And make thy goodness known, Till earth and heaven together blend Their praises at thy throne.
Ray Palmer.

_Zeal for Souls.--John 4:35._
Oh! still in accents sweet and strong Sounds forth the ancient word,-- "More reapers for white harvest fields, More laborers for the Lord!"
2 We hear the call; in dreams no more In selfish ease we lie, But girded for our Father's work, Go forth beneath his sky.
3 Where prophet's word, and martyr's blood, And prayers of saints were sown, We, to their labors entering in, Would reap where they have strown.
S. Longfellow.
464 Welton. L.M.
_A Meeting of Ministers._ (1006)
Pour out thy Spirit from on high; Lord! thine a.s.sembled servants bless; Graces and gifts to each supply.
And clothe thy priests with righteousness.
2 Wisdom, and zeal, and faith impart, Firmness with meekness from above, To bear thy people on our heart, And love the souls whom thou dost love;
3 To watch and pray, and never faint; By day and night, strict guard to keep; To warn the sinner, cheer the saint, Nourish thy lambs, and feed thy sheep.
4 Then, when our work is finished here, In humble hope, our charge resign; When the chief Shepherd shall appear, O G.o.d! may they and we be thine.
James Montgomery, 1825.
