Hymn
Ye messengers of Christ
Ye messengers of Christ!
His sovereign voice obey;
Arise, and follow where he leads,
And peace attend your way.
The Master, whom you serve,
Will needful strength bestow;
Depending on his promised aid,
With sacred courage go.
Mountains shall sink to plains,
And hell in vain oppose;
The cause is God's, and must prevail
In spite of all his foes.
