Go, Ye Messengers of Glory (Choir)
Go, Ye Messengers of Glory (Choir)
1. Go, ye messengers of glory;Run, ye legates of the skies;Go and tell the pleasing storyThat a glorious angel flies;Great and mighty,Great and mighty,With a message from the skies.
2. Go to every tribe and nation;Visit every land and clime;Sound to all the proclamation;Tell to all the truth sublime:That the gospel,That the gospelDoes in ancient glory shine.
3. Go, to all the gospel carry;Let the joyful news abound;Go till every nation hear you,Jew and Gentile greet the sound.Let the gospel,Let the gospelEcho all the earth around.
4. Bearing seed of heavenly virtue,Scatter it o’er all the earth;Go! Jehovah will support you,Gather all the sheaves of worth.Then, with Jesus,Then, with JesusReign in glory on the earth.
