12236. Go, Ye Heralds Of Salvation

1 Go, ye heralds of salvation,
Go, proclaim "Redeeming blood";
Publish to that barbarous nation,
Peace and pardon from our God:
Tell the heathen,
None but Christ can do them good.

2 While the Gospel trump you’re sounding,
May the Spirit seal the Word,
And, thro’ plenteous grace abounding,
Heathen bow and own the Lord;
Idols leaving,
God alone shall be adored.

3 Distant tho’ our souls are blending
Still our hearts are warm and true;
In our prayers to Heav’n ascending,
Brethren—we’ll remember you;
Heav’n preserve you,
Safely all your journey through.

4 When your mission here is finished,
And your work on earth is done,
May your souls, by grace replenished,
Find acceptance thro’ the Son;
Thence admitted,
Dwell for ever near His throne.

5 Loud hosannas now resounding,
Make the heav’nly arches ring:
Grace to sinful men abounding,
Ransomed millions sweetly sing;
While, with rapture,
All adore their heav’nly king.
