Lyics

YE messengers of Christ,

His sovereign 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 promised aid,

With sacred courage--go.



Go, spread the Saviour's fame;

Go, tell his matchless grace;

Proclaim salvation full and free

To Adam's guilty race.



Mountains shall sink to plains,

And hell in vain oppose;

The cause is God's--and will prevail

In spite of all his foes.
