Hymnal: Divine Hymns or Spiritual Songs, for the use of religious assemblies and private Christians #LXXI (1802) Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the Lord, your master dear,
O ye, his servants, whom he sends
To preach his gospel, far and near,
E'en to the world's remotest end.
2 Go forth ye heralds in my name,
"Sweetly the gospel trumpet sound;
"The glorious jubilee proclaim,
"Where'er the human race is found.
3 "Convince a world of sinners blind,
"And shew them where their danger lies;
"The broken hearted careful bind,
"And wipe the tears from weeping eyes.
4 "Be wise as serpents where you go,
"Yet harmless as the peaceful dove;
"And let your whole deportment show,
"That you're commission'd from above.
5 "And as you freely have receiv'd,
"E'en so to others freely give;
"So shall your message be believ'd,
"And many dying sinners live."
6 "Master, thy word we have obey'd,
(Said Christ's sweet messengers of peace)
And lo, the devils are dismay'd,
"Trembling they flee before our face."
7 Oh! if I had an angel's voice,
And could be heard from pole to pole,
I would to all the list'ning world,
Proclaim his goodness to my soul.
8 O happy servants of the Lord,
Who thus their master's will obey;
Immensely great is the reward,
They shall receive another day. Languages: English
Thus saith the Lord, your master dear
