Go, messenger of love, and bear,
Upon thy gentle wing,
The song Which seraphs love to hear,
And angels joy to sing.
Go, to the heart with sin opprest.
And dry the sorrowing tear;
Extract the thorn that wounds the breast,
The drooping spirit cheer.
Go, say to Zion, "Jesus reigns"—
By his resistless pow'r,
He binds his enemies with chains;
They fall to rise no more.
Tell how the Holy Spirit flies,
As he from heav'n descends—
Arrests his proudest enemies,
And changes them to friends.
