The kingdoms and governments of this world have frontiers which are guarded and must not be crossed without permission, but the kingdom of Jesus Christ has no frontier. It has never been kept within bounds. It has a message for the whole race, and the very fact that there are millions of people in the heart of Arabia who have never heard, becomes the strongest of reasons why we must carry that message to them. Difficulties and dangers should not hold us back. They did not hold back Jesus Christ when He made the long journey to our lost world. He depends on us to finish His work. As it is written: “They shall see to whom no tidings of Him came, And they who have not heard shall understand.” * * * * * “O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling, To tell to all the world that God is Light; That He who made all nations is not willing One soul should perish, lost in shades of night. “Publish glad tidings; Tidings of peace; Tidings of Jesus, Redemption and release.” ARABIA F.F. FLORIS FERWERDA [Musical score] A-ra-bi-a! A-ra-bi-a! For thee our pray’rs as-cend, That soon the ful-ness of God’s love, And light on thee de-scend. From O-man’s cliffs to Ye-man’s strand, Thy truth from sea to sea. Make known to ev-’ry A-rab band, O Lord! and make them free. Go! her-alds of the gos-pel, go! Urged by your Mas-ter’s love, Let ev-’ry A-rab cap-tive know; He lives—the God of love. His truth proclaim, His man-dates name, Sal-va-tion’s offering bring; Till ev-’ry soul shall learn His fame, And crown the Saviour-King. Go! her-alds of your Sa-viour, send The mes-sage far and near, Till ev-’ry Moslem heart shall bend In ho-ly, reverend fear. Speed! mes-sen-gers of peace, speed on! God’s promised truth make known; Chil-dren of Ishmael, Ha-gar’s son, Go! claim them as God’s own. A-ra-bi-a! A-ra-bi-a! Up-on thy dark-est night, The Sun of Righteousness as-cends; He comes to give thee light. Be-fore Him shall the cres-cent wane. Him ev-’ry king shall bless; The wild-er-ness shall praise His name, The isles His love con-fess.
