Go, ye heralds of salvation,
Go, proclaim "Redeeming blood;"
Publish to that barbarous nation,
Peace and pardon from our God:
|: Tell the heathen, :|
None but Christ can do them good.
While the gospel trump you're sounding
May the Spirit seal the word.
And, thro' sovereign grace abounding,
Heathen bow and own the Lord;
|: Idols leaving, :|
God alone shall be ador'd.
Distant tho' our souls are blending,
Still our hearts are warm and true;
In our pray'rs to heav'n ascending,
Brethren—^we'll remember you;
|: Heav'n preserve you, :|
Safely all your journey through.
When your mission here is finished.
And your work on earth is done.
May your souls, by grace replenished,
Find acceptance thro' the Son;
|: Thence admitted, :|
Dwell for ever near his throne.
Loud hosannas now resounding,
Make the heavenly arches ring:
Grace to sinful men abounding,
Ransom'd millions sweetly sing;
|: While, with rapture, :|
All adore their heav'nly King.
