#264 "Hark, All Ye Nations!"

This hymn was new to the 1985 hymnal, but apparently the Saints of Austria/Germany/Switzerland were familiar with it.  (See "Our Latter-day Hymns", by Davidson.)  Maybe that's why I enjoy its message and tune--my Swiss roots!  This is such a great missionary hymn, but it doesn't seem to be well-known in the congregations of the United States.  I will have to be sure to schedule it more often so that the congregation can learn it.
