430—For my sake and the
Gospel, go
“For my sake and the Gospel’s,
go
And tell Redeemer’s story,”
His heralds answer, “Be it
so,
And Thine, Lord, all the
glory!”
They preach His Birth, His
Life, His Cross,
The love of His Atonement
For whom they count the world
but loss,
His Easter, His Enthronement.
Hark, hark the trump of
Jubilee
Proclaims to every nation,
From pole to pole, by land
and sea,
Glad tidings of salvation:
As nearer draws the day of
doom,
While still the battle rages,
The Heavenly Dayspring
through the gloom
Breaks on the night of ages.
Still on and on the anthems
spread
Of Hallelujah voices,
In concert with the holy Dead
The warrior Church rejoices;
Their snow white robes are
washed in Blood,
Their golden harps are
ringing;
Earth and the Paradise of God
One Triumph-song are singing.
He comes, Whose Advent
Trumpet drowns
The last of Time’s evangels,
Emmanuel crown’d with many
crowns,
The Lord of Saints and
Angels:
O Life, Light, Love, the
great I AM,
Triune, Who changest never,
The Throne of God and of the
Lamb
Is Thine, and Thine for ever!
