- 1Ye Christian heralds! go, proclaim
- Salvation thro' Immanuel's name;
- To distant climes the tidings bear,
- And plant the Rose of Sharon there.
- 2He'll shield you with a wall of fire,
- With flaming zeal your breast inspire,
- Bid raging winds their fury cease,
- And hush the tempest into peace.
- 3And when our labors all are o'er,
- Then we shall meet to part no more,
- There with the blood-bought throng to fall
- And crown our Jesus Lord of all.
