Lyics

MEN of God, go take your stations;

Darkness reigns throughout the earth:

Go, proclaim among the nations,

Joyful news of heavenly birth:

Bear the tidings--

Tidings of the Saviour's worth.



Of thy gospel not ashamed--

'Tis the power of God to save;

Go where Christ was never named,

Publish freedom to the slave:

Blessed freedom!

Freedom Zion's children have.



When exposed to fearful dangers,

Jesus will his own defend;

Borne afar 'midst foes and strangers,

Jesus will appear your friend:

He is with you--

He will guide you to the end.
