LyicsGo, ye messengers of God,
Like the beams of morning fly,
Take the wonder working rod,
Lift the banner cross on high.
Go to many a tropic isle
In the bosom of the deep,
Where the skies forever smile
And th' oppress'd forever weep.
O'er the pagan's night of care
Pour the living light of heaven;
Chase away his wild despair,
Bid him hope to be forgiven.
Where the golden gates of day
Open on the palmy East,
High the bleeding cross display,
Spread the gospel's richest feast.
