Go, and the Saviour’s grace proclaim,

Ye messengers of God;

Go, publish through Immanuel’s name,

Salvation bought with blood.

2 What though your arduous task may lie

Through regions dark as death;

What though your faith and zeal to try,

Perils beset your path!

3 Yet, with determined courage, go;

And armed with power divine,

Your God will needful aid bestow,

And on your labors shine.

4 He who has called you to the war

Will recompense your pains;

Before Messiah’s conquering car

Mountains shall sink to plains.

5 Shrink not though earth and hell oppose,

But plead your Master’s cause;

Nor doubt that e’en your mighty foes

Shall bow before his cross.
