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 their Friend appear,
He will be nigh.
