Men of God, go take your stations

Men of God, go take your stations;

Darkness reigns throughout the earth:

Go proclaim among the nations

Joyful news of heavenly birth;

Bear the tidings

Of the Saviour's matchless worth.

Go to men in darkness sleeping,

Tell that Christ is strong to save;

Go to men in bondage weeping;

Publish freedom to the slave:

Tell the dying,

Christ has triumphed o'er the grave.

What though earth and hell united

Should oppose the Saviour's reign;

Plead his cause to souls benighted;

Fear ye not the face of men:

Vain their tumult,

Earth and hell will rage in vain.

When exposed to fears and dangers,

Jesus will his own defend;

Borne afar 'midst foes and strangers,

Jesus will appear your friend,

And his presence

Shall be with you to the end.
