Lyics

HERALDS of the King of kings,

Preach the peace the gospel brings:

Loud extol the incarnate Word,

Preach you pardon through the Lord.



Celebrate, with every breath,

All the merits of his death,

Never cease to name the cross,

Till the foe confess his loss.



Never be ashamed to tell,

Jesus has done all things well,

Reigns in heaven, all things knows;

Pleads for friends, and pardons foes.



There may you in chorus join,

Blessing, praising love divine:

While eternal ages roll,

May you God and Christ extol.
