Lyics

YOU 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.
