HERALDS OF SALVATION.
Go, heralds of Salvation, forth;
Go, in your heavenly Master's name,
From east to west, from south to north,
The glorious Gospel, wide proclaim!
Go, in your heavenly Master's name,
From east to west, from south to north,
The glorious Gospel, wide proclaim!
Go, bid the thirsty desert bloom;
Go, bid the weary spirit rest;
Go, seek the wanderers through the gloom,
And guide them to the Saviour's breast!
Go, bid the weary spirit rest;
Go, seek the wanderers through the gloom,
And guide them to the Saviour's breast!
Go forth, to sow the living seed;
Seek not earth's praise, nor dread its frown;
Nor labors fear, nor trials heed;
Win jewels for Immanuel's crown!
Seek not earth's praise, nor dread its frown;
Nor labors fear, nor trials heed;
Win jewels for Immanuel's crown!
Lo! I am with you, saith the Lord;
My grace your spirit shall sustain;
Strong is My arm, and sure My word;
My servants shall not toil in vain.
My grace your spirit shall sustain;
Strong is My arm, and sure My word;
My servants shall not toil in vain.
Go forth in hope; My burden take,
Till God's great reaping-day shall come;
Then, they who sowed in tears shall wake,
And hail the joyful harvest home!
Till God's great reaping-day shall come;
Then, they who sowed in tears shall wake,
And hail the joyful harvest home!
