The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4271

4271. Missionary Hymn

1. The voice of Christ, our Savior,
Rings through the Christian world:
Let Gospel truth be spoken,
My banner be unfurled
In every land and nation,
Where’er man’s foot has trod;
Go publish My salvation,
Proclaim the Christ of God.

2. Baptized with heav’nly wisdom,
And lips aglow with love,
Speak to the lost and fallen
The message from above;
Unfold with holy courage
The grand and glorious truth
That speaks in benediction
To every Christian youth.

3. The promise of the Master
Crowns with its glorious light
Each faithful Christian soldier
That strikes for God and right.
Go ye, and preach the Gospel
In all its wondrous power;
Go, the Redeemer’s presence
Shall crown thine every hour.
