LyicsYE MESSENGERS of Christ,
His sovereign voice obey;
Arise and follow where he leads,
And peace attend your way.
The Master whom you serve
Will needful strength bestow:
Depending on his promised aid,
With sacred courage go.
Mountains shall sink to plains,
And hell in vain oppose;
The cause is God's, and will prevail,
In spite of all his foes.
Go, spread a Saviour's fame,
And tell his matchless grace
To the most guilty and depraved
Of Adam's fallen race.
