LyicsSound, sound the truth abroad!
Bear ye the word of God
Through the wide world;
Tell what our Lord has done,
Tell how the day is won,
Tell from his lofty throne
Satan is hurled.
Far over sea and land,
Go, at your Lord's command;
Bear ye his name;
Bear it to every shore,
Regions unknown explore,
Enter at every door;
Silence is shame.
Speed on the wings of love;
Jesus, who reigns above,
Bids us to fly;
They who his message bear
Should neither doubt nor fear;
He will heir friend appear,
He will be nigh.
When on the mighty deep,
He will their spirits keep,
Stayed in his word;
When in a foreign land,
No other friend at hand,
Jesus will by them stand--
Jesus, their Lord.
