Lyics

GO, and the Saviour's grace proclaim,

Ye messengers of God;

Go, publish, through Immanuel's name,

Salvation bought with blood:



What though your ardous task may lie

Through regions dark as death;

What though, your faith and zeal to try,

Perils beset your path;



He who has call'd you to the war

Will recompense your pains;

Before Messiah's conqu'ring ear

Mountains shall sink to plains.



Shrink not, though earth and hell oppose,

But plead your Master's cause;

Nor doubt that e'en your mighty foes

Shall bow before His cross.
