O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling,
To
tell to all the world that God is light;
That
He who made all nations is not willing
One
soul should perish, lost in shades of night.
Refrain
2
Proclaim
to every people, tongue, and nation
That
God, in whom they live and move, is love;
Tell
how He stooped to save His lost creation,
And
died on earth that we might live above.
3
Give
of thy sons to bear the message glorious;
Give
of thy wealth to speed them on their way;
Pour
out thy soul for them in prayer victorious;
And
all thou spendest Jesus will repay.
4
He
comes again! O Zion, ere thou meet Him,
Make
known to every heart His saving grace;
Let
none whom He Hath ransomed fail to greet Him,
Through
thy neglect, unfit to see His face.
