Text: | Ye Christian heralds, go proclaim |
Author: | Mrs. Vokes |
Tune: | GERMANY (Walton) |
Composer: | Ludwig von Beethoven |
1 "Ye Christian heralds, go proclaim
Salvation in Immanuel's name;
To distant climes the tidings bear,
And plant the rose of Sharon there."
2 Go with His Word and Sacrament,
And in His name spend and be spent;
You bring Immanuel's saving grace
Unto a lost and dying race.
3 From out the depths of open grave
Their need cries loudly: Help, O save!
Go then, and toil while yet 'tis day;
He, who you serve, attends your way.
