Hymn 88
4 lines 10s.
1. Ye heralds of Jesus, go forth in his name,
And since he hath freed us, that freedom proclaim;
Go to all nations, and then to the Jews,
Proclaim this salvation, they have it who choose.

2. Repent of your sins, forsake your old ways,
Attend to the things of these latter days,
For soon the Lord's coming again to the world,
With the spirit of burning, his banner unfurled.

3. Go to the islands, all o'er the wide seas,
And to the Laplands, yea, and the Indies;
Proclaim it to all, in every clime,
That they hear the call, and obey it in time.

4. And come from the east, e'en unto the west,
Where all from the least up to the greatest,
Must gather in one, protected to be,
When Jesus shall come to set his saints free.

5. And cleanse the whole earth from sin and its stain,
As at its first birth restore it again;
Then nothing but peace and praise will resound,
From west to the east, it spreads the world round.
