Ye Messengers of Christ
Author: Mrs. Vokes, 19th Century Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 182 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye messengers of Christ
His sovereign voice obey;
Arise and follow where He leads,
And peace attend your way.
2 The Master whom you serve
Will needful strength bestow;
Depending on His promised aid,
With sacred courage go.
3 Go, spread the Savior’s fame,
And tell His matchless grace
To the most guilty and depraved
Of Adam’s numerous race.

And hell in vain oppose;
The cause is God’s and must prevail
In spite of all his foes! Topics: The Gospel; Promise Scripture: John 20:21 Used With Tune: BOYLSTON

Where'er the human race is found.

And teach them where salvation lies;
With care bind up the broken heart,
And wipe the tears from weeping eyes.

But harmless as the peaceful dove;
And let your heaven-taught conduct show
That you're commissioned from above.
4 Freely from Me ye have received;
Freely, in love, to others give;
Thus, shall your doctrines be believed,
And by your labors sinners live. Topics: The Gospel; Gospel Tidings; Morning; Peace Scripture: Mark 16:15 Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

Go forth to glorious war!

The standard of your God.

All stained with hallowed blood.

Let all to Jesus' cross draw nigh,

Beneath His easy yoke they move;
With all their hearts and strength agree
In the sweet labor of His love.

A busy multitude appear;
For Jesus day and night employed,
His heritage they toil to clear.

And strengthens their unwearied hands;
They spend their sweat and blood and pains
To cultivate Emmanuel's lands.

And fruit we every hour shall bear:
Throughout the world Thy gospel spread,
Thine everlasting truth declare.
