Author: Rev. G. P. Hott Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 4 #143 (1900) First Line: Speed away, speed away, swift evangel of song Lyrics: 1 Speed away, speed away, swift evangel of song; Sing in accents of mercy, to save from the wrong. ‘Tis your mission to lighten the burden of care, The heart that is heavy, its sorrow to share; Sweetly carol the strain, sweetly sing all the day, Speed away, speed away, speed away! 2 Speed away, speed away, sweet evangel of love, With the olive of mercy, on wings like the dove; Find the home of the lowly, the children of woe, Speak words of sweet comfort, oh, hasten to go; E’er the eventide come, or the night veils the day, Speed away, speed away, speed away! 3 Speed away, speed away, blest evangel of peace, ‘Til oppression and wrong ‘mong the nations shall cease; ‘Til the love of the Saviour shall fill ev’ry soul, And beautiful anthems of harmony roll O’er the earth and the sea, all the night and the day; Speed away, speed away, speed away!
