Hymn

Sound, sound the truth abroad

Thomas Kelly

Sound, sound the truth abroad!

Bear ye the word of God

Through the wide world;

Tell what our Lord has done,

Tell how the day is won,

And from his lofty throne

Satan is hurled.

Ye who, forsaking all

At your loved Master's call,

Comforts resign;

Soon will your work be done,

Soon will the prize be won;

Brighter than yonder sun

Then shall ye shine.
