Go, ye messengers of God

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #545 (1828) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Go, ye messengers of God, Like the beams of morning fly; Take the wonder-working rod, Wave the banner cross on high! 2 Go to many a tropic isle On the bosom of the deep; Where the skies for ever smile And the blacks for ever weep. 3 Where the golden gates of day Open on the balmy East, Wide the bleeding cross display, Spread the Gospel’s richest feast. 4 Visit ev'ry heathen soil, Ev'ry barren, burning strans,-- Bid each dreary region smile, Lovely as the promis'd land. 5 In yon wilds of stream and shade, Many an Indian wigwam trace; And with words of love persuade Savages to sue for grace. 6 Cirumnavigate the Ball-- Visit ev'ry soil and sea; Preach the cross of Christ to all; Jesus’ love is full and free.

Go, ye messengers of God

Author: Marsden Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #581 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Go, ye messengers of God; Like the beams of morning, fly; Take the wonder-working rod; Wave the banner-cross on high. 2 Go to many a tropic isle In the bosom of the deep, Where the skies forever smile, And th' oppress'd forever weep. 3 O'er the pagan's night of care Pour the living light of heaven; Chase away his wild despair; Bid him hope to be forgiven. 4 Where the golden gates of day Open on the palmy East, High the bleeding cross display; Spread the gospel's richest feast.
