LyicsYOU messengers of Christ,
His sov'reign 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 promis'd aid,
With sacred courage go.
Mountains shall sink to plains,
And hell in vain oppose;
The cause is God's, and must prevail
In spite of all his foes.
Go, spread a Saviour's fame,
And tell his matchless grace,
To the most guilty and deprav'd
Of Adam's num'rous race.
We wish you in his name
The most divine success;
Assur'd that he who sends you forth
Will your endeavors bless.
