LyicsSOUND, sound the truth abroad!
Bear ye the word of God
Through the wide world;
Tell what our Lord had done,
Tell how the day is won,
Tell from His lofty throne
Satan is hurl'd.
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.
