12732. Now, Lord, Thy Chosen Heralds Bless

1 Now, Lord, Thy chosen heralds bless,
Who run at Thy command;
And may Thy precious word of grace,
Be heard in every land.

2 The blessing which Thy Son hath bought,
To sinners we proclaim;
Let signs and wonders still be wrought
In Jesus’ conquering name.

3 Now let Thy Holy Spirit strive,
And bring the wanderers home;
Now, mighty God, Thy work revive,
And let Thy kingdom come.

4 Maintain, maintain, Thy sovereign sway,
And bid all sin depart;
The beauties of Thy face display,
And shine in every heart.

5 And when to that bright world we come,
Where all is peace and joy,
We’ll shout the heav’nly harvest home,
And praise Thee in the sky.
