The Church Hymnal ‎#285

285. Ye Christian heralds, go, proclaim

1 Ye Christian heralds, go, proclaim
Salvation in Emmanuel's name:
To distant climes the tidings bear,
And plant the Rose of Sharon there.

2 God shield you with a wall of fire,
With holy zeal your hearts inspire,
Bid raging winds their fury cease,
And calm the savage breast to peace.

3 And when our labours all are o'er,
Then may we meet to part no more,
Meet, with the ransomed throng to fall,
And crown the Saviour Lord of all.
