1 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 Savior’s matchless worth.
2 Of His Gospel not ashamèd,
As "the power of God to save:"
Go, where Christ was never named;
Publish freedom to the slave!
Blessed freedom!
Such as Zion’s children have.
3 What though earth and hell, united,
Should oppose the Saviour’s plan?
Plead His cause, nor be affrighted:
Fear ye not the face of man:
Vain their tumult;
Hurt His work they never can.
4 When exposed to fearful 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.
